More reeking failure.

ANCHORAGE — Online healthcare exchanges are a major part of the Affordable Care Act (commonly know as Obamacare), but in Alaska and more than 30 other states using the federal Healthcare.govmarketplace, website troubles are keeping people from signing up for insurance.

Outreach to sign up Alaska’s nearly 140,000 uninsured has been extensive, including efforts by trained healthcare navigators working with the United Way, application counselors stationed at more than a hundred community health centers and partnerships with the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium.

Despite those efforts, by Thursday, outreach officials could only confirm seven Alaskans had signed up for coverage. That’s in stark contrast to more than 25,000 people signed up in states like New York, Washington, and Kentucky. Other states have devised their own health exchanges, but in July of last year, Governor Sean Parnell decided that Alaska would use the federal exchange that launched October 1.

“I haven’t signed anybody up,” Joan Fisher said flatly from her office at Providence Hospital on Thursday.

As the lead healthcare navigator for Alaska, she said she’s spoken with about 150 people since the exchange opened. With Healthcare.gov not cooperating, she hasn’t been able to get anyone fully insured.
