Oregon: 55K QHPs, 245K Medicaid

Van Pelt highlights the more than 300,000 "enrolled in health care coverage since October thanks to Cover Oregon ... and the Oregon Health Authority."

That figure includes:

• 55,000 people enrolled in private plans using the backup manual processing system set up to cope with the exchange's technology issues.
• more than 120,000 people enrolled into Oregon Health Plan after the exchange forwarded their information to the state for processing, a workaround for the exchange's broken Medicaid interface.
• 125,000 people enrolled directly into the Oregon Health Plan using a streamlined system set up to bypass Cover Oregon.
