Congressman John Delaney, of Maryland’s 6th District, has released a statement following news that the state of Maryland will recoup $45 million from Noridian, the prime contractor for Maryland’s online health exchange.

“I applaud Attorney General Frosh for negotiating this settlement as a partial offset to the pain Marylanders suffered as a result of the failed healthcare exchange roll out under then Governor O`Malley,” Delaney said. “Our state’s failure to manage this roll-out – which cost our taxpayers tens of millions of dollars and prevented thousands of Marylanders from obtaining health insurance – was a painful lesson in government mismanagement and a national embarrassment. As I did in this situation, I will continue to push for a smarter government, one that uses data and best practices to implement transformative programs to help the lives of our citizens.”
