States slow to recoup money for botched Obamacare sites

States slow to recoup money for botched Obamacare sites-politicopro: Some of the states that built Obamacare exchanges wasted tens of millions of dollars paying contractors to build websites that ultimately didn’t work. Some are still trying to get the money back but not very aggressively.  And like most issues that concern the health law, state efforts to recover money from the botched exchanges are clouded by political accusations. With the second enrollment season getting underway this weekend, only a handful of states have recovered payments over last fall’s fiasco. Most are seeking quiet settlements rather than going to court. Some haven’t made much of an effort at all, leading critics of the Affordable Care Act to charge that Democratic officials are covering up their own culpability.
