Despite over $205 million in federal taxpayer funding, Hawaii's Obamacare exchange website will soon shut down. "All I know is healthcare. gov doesn't work," Sen. Roz Baker (D, West Maui-South Maui) told board members. "We have to take the best calculated risk. There's a lot of unrealistic expectations."

My Commentary "There are already 36 states that refused to open exchanges due to high cost and now cash strapped states are not so willing to point up the money to pay for these axchanges. Next the Supreme Court and can be a blow to tax payer funded subsidies.

What states are next?"

If the SCOTUS strikes down "subsidies" (i.e. more wealth redistribution taking from the producers and giving to the leaches), it is game over for Obamacare.
Remember part of this whole illusion of universal healthcare is predicated on making insurance companies promises that they will be made whole by the government(i.e. taxpayers) for lack of a certain % of profit.
Yet the pie in the sky unicorn riders believed Obama when he said you could add millions of people to an existing system and it would not cost more, even save money.

For whatever reasons, the small state of Hawaii (1.4 million) can't run it's own exchange, so it will switch to the federal healthcare.gov exchange.

Obviously if Hawaii cannot afford Obamacare it should not exist as a state in the first place.

I read recently (can't remember where, so I don't have a link) that there are something like 15 state exchanges that are in trouble.
