From The Daily Caller:
California’s Obamacare exchange, which has the largest enrollment in the nation, has opted to increase its budget for its first year in action.
The exchange’s board voted to up the budget set for the 2013-14 fiscal year, bringing the total cost up to $488.6 million for the first year, 22 percent higher than the original $399.7 million budget, according to California Healthline.
The primary culprit is the website and computer system fashioned for the exchange, CalHEERS — the California Healthcare Eligibility, Enrollment and Retention System. The computer system’s cost increased by $112 million over the original projection, according to Yolanda Richardson, the exchange’s chief deputy executive director.
