Tens of Thousands of union workers and community activists to be hired for Obamacare

[Jroc]

Tens of thousands of health care professionals, union workers and community activists hired as "navigators" to help Americans choose Obamacare options starting Oct. 1 could earn $20 an hour or more, according to new regulations issued Wednesday.

The 63-page rule covering navigators, drawn up by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, also said the government will provide free translators for those not fluent in English -- no matter what their native language is.
"The proposed requirements would also include that such entities and individuals provide consumers with information and assistance in the consumer's preferred language, at no cost to the consumer, which would include oral interpretation of non-English languages and the translation of written documents in non-English languages when necessary to ensure meaningful access," said the regulations.

The rules also addressed conflict of interest and other potential issues that navigators could face as the public's first stop on the Obamacare trail.

It is still not clear how many navigators will be required. California, however, provides a hint. It wants 21,000.

That could be an expensive proposition. The proposed rules, now open for public comment, suggest an estimated pay of $20-$48 an hour.

A system so complex we have to hire navigators to guide the peons through it?

Heaven help us.

Well really people, who didn't see this coming?


And you get to PAY FOR IT..

Government run health care, and the liberals denied it the whole damn time.

Obama will claim the jobs created and the reduction in unemployment instigated by his
ObamaCare Bullshit.

The cost of all these people should be included in the total cost of health care in the United States.

Insurance agents and brokers already exist. And, lo and behold, they'll be reincarnated as navigators: "The proposed conflict-of-interest standards for Navigators would permit agents and brokers to serve as Navigators in an Exchange operated by HHS, provided that the agent or broker can satisfy the standards that will apply to all Navigators in the Exchange."

Then he will hire tens of thousands of people to act as supervisors
so these people will have someone to report to.

If your healthcare law needs it's own navigator to help someone understand it, then it must suck. Repeal it please.

I'll bet the "navigators" wont have very much to say when they asked to explain why people were told that they could keep their current Health care plan, and why they cannot now.

 

[Rozman]

Obama signed it into law...
I wonder if he has a clue just exactly what's in it.

Obamacare is a Government program, people wouldn't dare abuse it.

Sounds like it's time to start contacting House Reps to deny funding for these positions and the bureaucracy required to support them. This shit is going to cost 5 time what was originally projected, of course the Dems knew that going in.

Gee, what a surprise!!! Yet another expansion of the Democrat-Union money laundering scheme. Use taxpayers money to pay the salaries and pensions for these new union employees, and of course....there are those union dues. And guess what the unions do with the money from these dues, donate it right back to the Democrat party. White collar criminals and the mafia can learn alot from the Democrat Party.
