The Republican establishment in Colorado, during the years of Owens/Andrews did absolutely nothing to promote reform of a failed marketplace. Whether Obamacare was the perfect solution is not the issue. This is taking on the appearance of a rodeo with the Republcans acting as clowns in a barrel.

The funding agencies require audits and the people in the peanut gallery should rely on that work. If they choose to step up and fund the exchange, they too can call for an audit of their expenditures. Until then they should quit embarrassing themselves trying to emulate Daryl Issa.
