4. 'Medical leave'...

Rocky King, director of Oregon's non-working health insurance exchange, stepped down Monday to take medical leave and may not return.

King's departure, announced at a Cover Oregon board meeting, came as the project he led for two years remains largely unable to enroll people despite costing more than $140 million so far.

King will be replaced temporarily by Oregon Health Authority director Bruce Goldberg until a longer term replacement is found.
