A bunch of cry babies trying to blame others and make excuses for something that was never going to work.

This is the predictable shift of blame for failure. I expect to see much more of this.

The importance of the navigators cannot be understated.

Nor, apparently, can the intelligence of the author.

First and foremost in making this happen are the navigators.

Wrong. If you want the uninsured to buy insurance you need to offer them a scaled down catastrophic insurance that is cheap, cheap, cheap. And it should be cheap when it is bought through a government navigator.

Would you expect anything different from an administration (hauntingly similar to FDR’s) that doesn’t have a single Dept., agency, or other top level manager with any experience or job history other than an incestuous university positions. They have never done anything, been responsible for anything, and have no capability to accomplish anything.

How many, out of the dismally low enrollment numbers to date, were paying customers and not Medicaid (no payment required) recipients?

As the nonprofits enter the health insurance industry, the NGOs and other nonprofits signed up as Navigators are being held to the same consumer protection laws, Health data privacy laws, and state level regulation of trade as the existing health insurance sales industry. That is to say, the NGOs are being held to the same standards as the existing ~600k health insurance agents/brokers in the country.

Most nonprofits in this country can not and will not be able to hold up to this level of scrutiny. It will take time to recruit existing health insurance industry professionals to management, then train the new Navigators.

Very doubtful there is a longterm sustainable strategy due to the abysmal pay scale, and soul crushing mountains of paperwork involved while performing face to face transactions.

Insurance companies have had trained, experienced “navigators” for years. They call them sale representatives or agents. The Obamau navigators are a bunch of clueless clowns, just like those in the House and Senate that voted for this monstrosity.

The Navigators are hard at work trying to tailor a plan for this poor uninsured fellow:

Meanwhile, crack programmers are hard at work in the wee hours fixing a few minor glitches at the exchange website:

Just for information....NON-PROFIT doesn’t mean the people in charge get chump change for salaries.

Many, if not most, non-profits pay their top people big, big money because they can reap public relations benefits from the title and get special tax handling from this most corrupt Administration of all time!

As one who has helped young and old navigate through the savage markets of formerly freemarket health insurance since before there was ever a Medicare, I prefer to call these creepy, untested, unlicensed and generally unqualified folks Nagivators, instead of Navigators.

Con men are impersonating them to gain personal info to steal identities right and left!!!

Government by liberal lawmakers just makes a mockery of commonsense and traditional American decency!!!

I just left a comment on that Lefty Website.

Since it is under review, I doubt it will see the light to day. Made me feel better though.

Their success isn’t important just for the Affordable Care Act, but for the reputation and trustworthiness of nonprofits as government contractors.


Perhaps the author potential impact on reputation/trustworthiness of nonprofits as government contractors of the Federal Government’s ban on background checks and especially the ban on questions or background checks regarding applicants or criminal arrest history and felony convictions for Navigators, who are given unprecedented and unsupervised access to the IRS database,

You just can’t make this stuff up.

To me the fact that they need “navigators” proves the overreaching complexity of the law and its processes. Just design a system that does not need navigators!

Ah, yes, the Navigators.
So nice to see the ACORN folks get a gig in the vote-fraud off-season.
Too bad their pay continues to come out of the tax payers' pockets.
I really don't appreciate being forced to fund the destruction of the world's greatest healthcare system and the economy of the nation.

Ben Carson: Obamacare is ‘Slavery’
ABC News ^ | October 11, 2013 | Abby D. Phillip

Posted on Friday, October 11, 2013 3:12:28 PM by 2ndDivisionVet

Ben Carson is probably best known for his work as a neurosurgeon, but in recent months he has become a conservative firebrand and today he offered some controversial red meat to the audience at the Values Voter Summit in Washington.

Carson, who is a contributor to Fox News, assailed president Obama’s health care law, saying it is akin to slavery.

“I have to tell you, you know Obamacare is really, I think, the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery,” Carson said. “And it is slavery in a way because it is making all of us subservient to the government.”

Carson, who is African American, went on to say that the administration’s push toward Obamacare is reminiscent to a push toward socialism.

“It was never about health care, it was about control,” Carson said. “That’s why when this administration took office it didn’t matter that the country was going off the cliff economically. All forces were directed toward getting this legislation passed.

“Vladimir Lenin, one of the fathers of Socialism and Communism, said that socialized medicine is the keystone to the establishment of the socialist state,” he added...
