Supposedly these are citizens with the right to vote without showing anything.
Why can't they get Obamacare without showing anything as well ?

If you can't get Obamacare how can they tax you for not having it?

Sure you can get obamacare, pay the premium and there you go, insurers can't turn you down.

Well these are people that supposedly can't afford insurance and need the government subsidy.

They will keep your tax refund as payment of the penalty for not having insurance.
So just make sure you don't get a refund and you can skip needing insurance.

$20-$48 per hour and they will come from the ranks of unions, healthcare and community groups like ACORN.
California requested 21,000 "navigators".
The government will also pay for translators for our English challenged citizens.

Part of the Obamacare signup involves signing a voter registration if you aren't registered.
I guess that's where ACORN comes in since they have so much experience.

LOL..nearly $50/hour just to "navigate" a webform for people...where do I sign up ??

Tens of thousands Obamacare 'navigators' to be hired | WashingtonExaminer.com


WTF? Where do I sign up? How about competition and letting the market decide? I'll do it for $10 an hour.

ROFL....speak up lefties..voter ID laws were discriminatory because they wanted proof.
Why isn't this just as discriminatory against the poor and old who still don't have ID's/birth certificates ?

Voter ID lars are discriminatory if the proof isn't free of charge. duh.

Yeah I know. I gotta be extra careful because I also have a student loan issue. Currently my tax refunds are intercepted by Treasury and sent off to Ed.

Turns out that there is a hierarchy to the grabbing and federal taxes are grabbed before anything else.

So if I owed an Obamacare penalty, they would grab my tax refund and apply it to the penalty/tax, with little or nothing going toward the student loan.

If they don't get the subsidy and insurance would cost more than 8% of their gross income, they are exempt from the individual mandate.

I actually did some internet hunting and couldn't find any website to apply.
I'd do that as well for $20-$48/hour.
