Mark Begich's new-found concern about delaying ObamaCare is a little difficult to believe given how much Begich has been cheerleading for ObamaCare from the start.

Case in point, here’s Begich on the floor of the U.S. Senate more than four years ago touting how easy it will be to use the exchanges to buy insurance. How easy? You guessed it, as easy as using Begich’s favorite travel site Expedia.

BEGICH: Reform will offer Americans more choices by creating health insurance exchanges. As so well described by the senator from Colorado, as I like to call it, health insurance Expedia. As we do it with travel, we can do it with health insurance.

This wouldn’t be the last time Begich compared the ObamaCare exchange to Expedia.

Almost one year ago, Sen. Mark Begich (D-AK) was touting how easy it would be to obtain insurance through the ObamaCare exchanges. How easy? Like buying an airplane ticket on Expedia.

The exchanges will work similarly to what happens when you buy a plane ticket on Expedia, Begich said. “It’s a one-stop shop for individuals. … Because you’re part of a larger group, therefore there are shared risks.”

Begich also promised earlier this year that he was going to provide “aggressive outreach” to help Alaskans use the exchanges.

And he [Begich] promised aggressive outreach to help constituents use the exchanges and other consumer benefits.

Since then, only “a handful of Alaskans” have been able to sign up for ObamaCare through the exchange that Begich compared to Expedia.

A handful of Alaskans have officially signed up for health insurance through the online marketplace this week, the first reported since the website launched on Oct. 1.

A series of technical glitches have left many individuals in the state barred from creating accounts altogether or locked out of viewing the list of insurance plans once signed in on the federally run healthcare.gov.
