SALEM, Ore. (AP) — The state official overseeing Oregon’s transition from the failed Cover Oregon health insurance website to the federal insurance exchange is stepping down.
Tina Edlund says in a memo dated Nov. 18 that she will be “taking time off and then will enjoy part-time retirement.”
Gov. John Kitzhaber selected Edlund earlier this year to oversee the transition. The Statesman Journal reports (https://stjr.nl/1wrRnRa ) that the first part of the transition is complete, and Oregonians are able to enroll in private health insurance through the federal HealthCare.gov website.
