The government tries to praise the system by telling us how easy it will be for states to "verify" our information.
But now community organizers, like ACORN, are jumping on the Obamacare bandwagon.
In its rush to sign up as many people as possible on the exchanges, the Obama
administration announced that it would abuse basic hiring standards by lowering the
qualification threshold for those wanting to become so-called “patient navigators.”
What are "patient navigators" you ask?
Navigators are people who assist others in applying for ObamaCare subsidies.
Instead of requiring the same level of credentialing that is required to work at the IRS and Census Bureau – at least a high school diploma and a criminal background check – the Obama Health and Human Services department is waiving those and will now allow anyone who completes a 20-30 hour online training seminar to get access to an applicant’s personal information. What’s more, navigators will be paid $20-48 an hour by the federal government for their work.
And don’t think that community organizers of every stripe aren’t chomping at the bit to navigate people into a government subsidy. Guidelines released by HHS indicate that some of the groups already lining up to get certified “include Planned Parenthood, senior-citizen advocacy organizations, and churches,” John Fund wrote recently in National Review.
Fund notes that “The standards proposed by your department could result in a convicted felon receiving federal dollars and gaining access to confidential taxpayer information,” a group of nine Republican senators led by Utah’s Orrin Hatch wrote to Secretary Sebelius last month. “The same standards allow any individual who has registered with the exchange and completed two days of training to facilitate enrollment, as if the decision to purchase health insurance is similar to the decision of registering to vote.”
COMPLETE TWO DAYS OF "TRAINING" TO ACCESS MILLIONS OF AMERICAN'S FINANCIAL AND MEDICAL INFORMATION?? WHERE DO I SIGN UP??Fund notes that “The standards proposed by your department could result in a convicted felon receiving federal dollars and gaining access to confidential taxpayer information,” a group of nine Republican senators led by Utah’s Orrin Hatch wrote to Secretary Sebelius last month. “The same standards allow any individual who has registered with the exchange and completed two days of training to facilitate enrollment, as if the decision to purchase health insurance is similar to the decision of registering to vote.”
It really is time for you to take action. Contact your congressmen today and demand that they defund Obamacare until we can get this monstrosity reversed.
