House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa warned Monday on Fox News that there are no checks in place for Obamacare navigators, the individuals tasked with helping Americans sign up for health insurance. They don’t have to follow any of the rules that every state in the country has for insurance people, he said. In other words, navigators are not bonded, finger printed, or identified in any way that would help prevent felons or identity theft perpetrators from having access to consumers’ personal information.
“This is basically just another form of community organizing paid for with your tax dollars,” Issa said. “ACORN revisited, if you will.”
“What they’re really hired to do is to convince people to get Medicaid under this new program, convince them to get a highly subsidized health care plan,” Issa continued. “They’re not there to sell the merits of the insurance, they’re there to sell the subsidy.”
“This is the federal government at work using federal dollars,” Rep. Pete Sessions added. “I believe that on the very surface of it, it is fraud at its very finest.”
Meanwhile, Press Secretary Jay Carney is criticizing Republican scrutiny of these navigators as talking points meant to sabotage President Obama’s health care law.
But Kathleen Sebelius has admitted that it’s possible convicted felons could be hired as navigators, a number of ex-ACORN operatives are now signing people upfor Obamacare, and navigators have been documented as counseling applicants to lie about their income on forms to qualify for a larger subsidy.
Clearly, the scrutiny is more than justified.
Obama plant posing as Conservative calling for political dirty tricks.
The repubs response to the systematic destruction of our country reminds me of the knock on the UN in the cartoon movie T. America. They're going to write a note, and then if the dems don't fix it they're going to write a nastier note.
Where's the substantive response to the illegal activity of this administration? When will we see real heroes step up? Vote for real heroes in 2014!
After all, we knew practically nothing about the man that so many people felt was trustworthy enough to put in the White House and give him a cadre legislators whose leanings were certainly far left and largely self-serving for their own power.
Maybe next time, if there is one, We, the People will pay more attention and remember WHY we had a Constitution and Bill of Rights that the Founders hoped would provide LIMITED power of government.
Do we have to give our personal information to non-vetted government workers using non-secure procedures? I know the answer is yes but being forced to compromise our personal information is the basis for another law suit?
This is the Cloward and Piven strategy in action, it was always the plan. The massive increase in SNAP benefit recipients, the expansion of every government assistance program and now the Obamacare law, together they will easily achieve the goals of the Cloward and Piven plan, bankrupting the federal government and creating an opportunity to institute a new system of governance...one that gives even broader, more intrusive powers and direct control of the entire economy, full blown central planning.
This will allow the pols in DC to finally have a very direct and absolute power over who succeeds and who fails...the vast majority will wish they had what the least of us now has.
Why are Americans taking this laying down while the country is being destroyed?
Go check the graves of our founding fathers, I'm sure there's no more dirt on them from all the spinning.
This was all planned by the Chicago thugs according to Michelle Malkin's book Culture of Corruption I'm presently reading.
Question is how can we stop this now with the Rats in control in the Senate likely blocking impeachment of this new Chicago mob.
