LOS ANGELES - Nahla Kayali is a foot soldier for Obamacare.

She is among the first wave of 2,000 community organizers in California getting trained to persuade more than 1 million uninsured people in the state to sign up for subsidized health coverage under President Barack Obama's reform law.

Kayali and her cohorts begin their mission next month, armed with flyers, pamphlets and a small army of volunteers who speak 13 languages.

"We're getting consumers and small businesses the tools to enroll, and trying to eliminate the barriers to enrolling," said Kayali, 55, who runs a non-profit that provides social services to Arab Christians and Muslims in Orange County, just south of Los Angeles. "We're going to break down the stigma - any barrier, whether it's a language barrier or a cultural barrier."

Remember when the people in our nation had a thing called “shame” and it horribly shameful to be on the dole. Stigmatizing those who feed at the public trough is a good thing. It is especially bad for society when government propagandizes itself to remove the stigma of going on the dole.

In Los Angeles County, Tina Wong will field a team of Spanish-speaking ambassadors going door-to-door to offer information to Latino consumers.

Like Kayali, she expects to find resistance: In Los Angeles County, 11 percent of the adult population is undocumented - ineligible to purchase insurance from the exchange and at risk of deportation if their status becomes known. That may prevent many families from signing up - even if some loved ones, including U.S.-born children, are eligible.

“Our biggest obstacle will be fear among parents who are undocumented to enroll their children,” said Wong.

.

Nice, huh?

Goodbye America. Goodbye.

Of course, when they disappear in a high crime area, well, too bad. A rumor that they are government spies sent in to bust gangs would be hilarious.

Doing the math (2,000 X $20-$48/ Hour) then X 5 days/week = taxpayers taking it in the shorts again. Another 0bama financial train wreck!

$700 million going toward enslaving the American dolts passing as “citizens”, $0 being spent on actual healthcare. The idiocy of this putrid, liberty-crushing legislation is right in front of everybody’s faces, and the gutless GOPe pu$$ies refuse to defund it. We are doomed.

They need to be found bound and helpless in alleyways or stuffed into dumpsters. That should reduce the number of volunteers!

Oh, wait; maybe they’ll be issued weapons and some of that .40 hollow point ammunition the fedgov has stocked up on. In that case, a more serious ambush is in order.

So their going to send people out to find people who don’t have health insurance, don’t think they need health insurance, and don’t want to pay for health insurance, and then sign them up to PAY for health insurance that they didn’t think they wanted or needed in the first place?

Hasn’t this been the problem with Obamacare from the very beginning?
