James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas Team Exposes Fraud of ObamaCare ‘Navigators’

Posted on Comments

John Fund at National Review:

James O’Keefe, the guerrilla videographer who helped bring down ACORN (the “community organizing” group that Barack Obama worked for as a lawyer and trainer) and got NPR’s president fired, is back.
This time, his undercover investigators focused on Obamacare’s “navigators,” the nearly 50,000 people who, in the words of the Department of Health and Human Services, “will serve as an in-person resource for Americans who want additional assistance in shopping for and enrolling in plans” on the Obamacare exchanges (at least when they’re finally working). The total value of grants doled out for nonprofits and community organizations to hire navigators has topped $67 million nationwide, and some of the money is going to a group run by ACORN’s highly controversial founder.

Mary Katharine Ham at Hot Air:

The navigator system— with grants given to plenty of left-leaning community organizers to lead citizens to the entitlement—was always fertile ground for mischief. It’s been made more problematic by the incompetence of the administration.
Navigators were originally required to go through 30 hours of training, but that requirement was later cut to 20 hours because the navigator program, like the rest of Obamacare, was falling on its face.  . . .
Obamacare is a system so complex, so incompetently administered that it doesn’t even require malice on the part of navigators or the bill’s allies to screw up people’s lives royally.

Da Tech Guy has an exclusive video interview with Project Veritas executive director Daniel Francisco. Permit me to suggest that this would be a good time to go make a contribution to Project Veritas.

  2. You can bet your house, insurance companies factored all these sorts of things into the premium prices we’re seeing now. There is no enforcement mechanism for recouping premium underpayments because of health fraud. Add in subsidy fraud and you have another ax murderer in this particular nightmare.

  4. The navigators bring the mental image of mariners crashing their ships on the rocks in response to the sirens’ call.
