Federal Inspector To Audit Maryland Health Exchange

A federal inspector general is launching a review into what went wrong with Maryland's health insurance exchange, the first examination focused specifically on how millions of dollars in federal money was spent by the state, according to the lawmaker who requested the probe.

Rep. Andy Harris, a Baltimore County Republican and vocal opponent of President Barack Obama's health care law, said officials with the inspector general for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services had contacted him and indicated they will look into the creation of the state's glitch-prone exchange.

The probe, which Harris said would likely begin in a matter of weeks, is the first of its kind to be revealed publicly. It comes days after the U.S. Government Accountability Office said it would review the formation of state-based insurance exchanges — though experts say an inspector general's examination is usually more exhaustive and specific.

They'll be bought off, too. No way that site costs that much, and I hope they get exposed.

You mean the same IG's that reviewed what went wrong w/ the Obamacare federal exchange?
Andy'll be in a rocking chair and retired before any Dem IG reports any Dem problems/misdeeds in MD.

I'm sure this investigation will be as thorough as the inspector generals investigation of the IRS.

The final report will reveal that it was President Bush's fault.

Isn't that the explanation of the failures for the past five years?
