I know the system appears to only justify paying unqualified workers about $30k/yr salaries,..about 21,000 of them in CA alone as “Navigators”.
My impression is they are paid about $68/signup and are essentially telemarketers and seminar organizers handing out leaflets and flyers redirecting you to insurance providers.
Every Obamacare website I find can’t tell me what it does other than how it is a wonderful system that saves everybody money,...but no details other than to contact a Navigator who isn’t required to know anything about healthcare or the insurance industry.
Seems like a payback to black lower income wage earners as a token salaried job.
The money paid to navigators props up ACORN type organizations, and allows their people to work full time for the cause.
Come on the navigators have to have at least 20 hours of training and pass a “vigorous” on line exam to become propagandists. They can earn 20.00 to 68.00 dollars an hour.
