Fraud firm gets OK to sign people up for ObamaCare

Rampant fraud on a New York City contract last year didn’t stop a major nonprofit from landing a slew of federal contracts to sign people up for ObamaCare.

Seedco, a New York-based community-development organization, was sued by the federal government for faking at least 1,400 of 6,500 job placements under a $22.2 million federally funded contract with the city.

Eighteen months later, the feds and Seedco are teaming up again, this time to help medical-insurance seekers maneuver through the maze that is the Affordable Health Care Act.

When ObamaCare’s open-enrollment period starts Tuesday, among the frontline agencies will be Seedco, which is partnering with dozens of agencies, such as the Gay Men’s Health Crisis, Food Bank for New York City and the Chinese American Planning Council, in each of the five boroughs.

Those selling insurance of any kind are required to posess a license which requires a state examination and registration with the state. Shouldn’t that be required for these navigators. ?
I agree. We should require all Navigators to be licensed.

However, they aren’t selling insurance. They are only advising you on where to sign up to pay a tax. They tax is to pay for health care for those who don’t pay for health care (like Congress and the Senate). If you want health care, you’ll have to pay for it yourself.

They are enrolling people into a Health Care plan which the SCOTUS has ruled is a tax for a service rendered in this case by the state. However the state diverts that tax is another matter. But to enroll in that plan you must pay that tax, and the seller derives a remuneration for doing so,whether it is a commission or a salary and that should be the position taken by the states wherever they’re located.

With the same government oversight which gave us 10 to 30 million criminal trespassers running O’Commie CrappyCare just imagine how many bogus people will be receiving our money for medical expenses which never were incurred.

This is an ACORN scum bag’s wet dream.
