"Cover Oregon" Director Who Dem Governor Said Had Resigned Due To HC Exchange Mess Is Still Employed, Being Paid $14,425 A Month

So basically we were all lied to, and Governor Kitzhaber is a liar…

Via Oregon Live:

He was the highest profile casualty of Oregon’s health insurance exchange disaster.

Bruce Goldberg, the respected, long-time director of the Oregon Health Authority, offered to resign on March 18. Two days later, with the Cover Oregon tech mess going from bad to worse, Gov. John Kitzhaber announced that he’d shown Goldberg the door.

The resignation was “effective immediately,” said officials in the governor’s office.

He’s getting paid $14,425 a month.
