Government
Feds Lower Training Requirements for ObamaCare 'Navigators'
2013-08-09
[Breitbart] As we near the October 1 implementation date of ObamaCare, it is becoming increasingly clear that the federal government isn't prepared. Late last week, HHS quietly reduced by one-third the number of hours of training required for "navigators," individuals tasked with helping the public enroll in the program.
Hurry! The Congress and staffers have opted out already !
Get them deployed immediately, HUD can give you the Chicago Zipp codes.
The ACORN folks being hired as staffers will be allowed to move their lips in the reading comprehension test...
The decision to cut training adds to already existing questions about how effective the "navigators" can be.
Should have tasked the Dept. of Agriculture, they've got 48,000,000 enrolled in the Food Stamp program. Enrollees are eating, gaining weight, and happy. No bitc*ing so far.
"Navigators" are tax payer federally funded community organizers activists who are supposed to help the public navigate the insurance exchanges and apply for any qualified subsidies. By design, individual navigators can have no ties with the health insurance industry, raising the question of how well they can help individuals select the best coverage option.
Farming Insurance be hard ?
Originally, HHS required navigators to undergo 30 hours of conversational English training. That requirement has been reduced now to just 20 hours of training. Even the original requirement seemed insufficient to understand such a complex multi-thousand page program.
Hopefully the weapons qualification block of instruction was not deleted.
With less than two months until the health exchanges are supposed to open, more problems are coming to light. Expect more decisions like the cut in training over the coming weeks.
Navigators will no longer be required if amnesty is approved. We'll be well over the hump and have achieved a Robert Mugabe-Lite, one party system by then.
