Obama's Acorn Cronies To Profit From ObamaCare
Investor's Business Daily ^ | October 2, 2013 | IBD EDITORIALS

Health Reform: Those icons of voter fraud have been tasked and paid to guide an unwilling public through the ObamaCare enrollment process — while getting access to confidential information on thousands of people seeking health insurance.

Somehow it does not surprise us that among the conductors on the train wreck known as ObamaCare will be leftist agitators from President Obama's beloved Acorn, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. They'll get up to $48 an hour as "navigators" to lead us through the dead-end ObamaCare maze.

As Mathew Vadum reports on the American Spectator blog, United Labor Unions (ULU) Local 100 in New Orleans, which is run by Acorn founder Wade Rathke, announced on its Facebook page that it's gearing up "to do mass enrollment and help navigate people into the marketplaces in Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas under the Affordable Care Act!"

"Local 100's role as a Navigator, suggest(s) the program is less about health care and more about building a new progressive infrastructure," says longtime Acorn-watcher Mike Flynn of Breitbart.com.

As one health expert with close ties to HHS told Breitbart News, the navigator program "will be a jobs program for unemployable Obama For America campaign volunteers and Acorn remnants."

Rathke, who managed the trick of getting his Acorn-controlled Local 100 kicked out of the radical Service Employees International Union (SEIU), was fired by Acorn's national board in 2008 when it was discovered that he'd covered up the theft from the group's coffers of some $948,000 by his brother Dale in 1999 and 2000.

By that time Acorn itself, hardly a paragon of honesty and ethics, was on its last legs as a liberal and government-sanctioned community group.

How did this sneak through?

Is this more of the original bill, or something tacked on afterward?

Whichever it is, it is corruption.

The “navigator” ploy is brilliant.

Access to everybody’s data AND getting paid to register more Democrat voters.

And we call the “progressives” stupid....

If the republicans in red states had any balls, they’d refuse to certify every election where a democrat won. Just flat refuse.

This = skimming a portion of public “spending” for The Rats.

It’s just a money laundering Operation. “Helping” people enroll... What- people are too stupid to click on a non-functioning Ratcare website?

If Obama and dems hired convicted pedophiles to run State Sponsored Daycare the MSM, New York Times and Washington Post would NOT report on it. If objections were raised about children being raped (by some liberal group like ACORN), the liberal press would find an excuse the blame the five year olds.

This 'sneaked through' because the press is corrupt, stupid and a lapdog to elite liberals.

I'm pretty sure it was in there. I read 800 pages of the 1000 page bill when it was the house bill. It was there, they didn't miss much.

But then of course by the time it was passed, it was 2,500 pages and now after "the secretary has deemed" it is 20,000 pages.

It is in there, I read alot and I have NEVER read such garbage in my life.
