Oregon's Failed O-Care Exchange Enrolled U.S. Senator In Medicaid

TPM reports:

Somehow, some way, Oregon's disastrous Obamacare exchange managed to enroll U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) in Medicaid, the public insurance program for low-income individuals and families.

The Oregonian reported Wednesday that after enrolling in private health insurance under the law, Merkley received a letter from the exchange telling him that he was enrolled in Medicaid.

"It must have been about half a year after I was on (private insurance) we suddenly got a mailing that said 'Congratulations, you're enrolled!'" Merkley recalled. "And I was like, 'What? You're crazy.'"

Senators make $174,000 per year. The threshold for expanded Medicaid coverage in Oregon under Obamacare is $31,721 for a family of four.

The great moments of socialized medicine!
