How about warning consumers about unscrupulous Navigators who will have the consumers most private info and may steal identities. These people have not had background checks or the requisite training to help someone through the application process. Healthcare.gov is so bad, the paper application will be rolled out and big delays in processing will result when government workers have to input the info into the dysfunctional site. Wow, what a deal!
Good one. Excuse us for not wanting our identities stolen from a criminal Navigator. Excuse us for not wanting this travesty rammed down our throat in the middle of the night against our will.

For all you know, it could be for unpaid parking tickets. But good job jumping to conclusions.

Libby, it could have been identity theft? I am concluding that using these unchecked, unverified navigators is putting people at risk, needlessly.

My point is you are put at risk every time you walk out of your door. You can either be paranoid about it or deal with it. How many people do you give your SSN and other sensitive information to in a year? Doctors, banks, creditors, vendors, etc. Do you do a background check on each of them before you do? That was rhetorical, because the answer is no.
And if Obamacare is as screwed up and difficult to understand as everyone says, then Navigators are not unnecessary.

It must be hard to go thru life so negative and cynical.
Liberals are all in denial and attack anyone who has a different perspective. FFA, do you remember them saying just a short time ago that applying for Obamacare would be just like going on Amazon.com? It would be so easy that anyone could do it with the very user friendly site. Oops! What went wrong here with this $634 million travesty of a site. Somehow, they will say it is all the Republicans fault that their wonderful scheme does not work for the citizens.
But these rose colored glasses, that I’m looking through
Show ooo…….nly the beauty, cause they hide all the truth,
And they let me hold on to the good times, the good lines,
The ones I used to hear when I held you,
And they keep me from feeling so cheated, defeated,
When reflections in your eyes show me a fool
I went in to my web site and quoted my health insurance. Now, I am getting emails from EHealth.com and tele marketing calls from them. Security has been crap in the govt site since day one… How much business has been stole from me???
It’s not about you. It’s about all those poor unfortunates who now have “access” to health care insurance. Never mind that there’s a law in place to ensure they all “take advantage” of their new “access.”
Bill, the quote was for Me & my Wife. Not some random web browser that stumbled across my site.
Shave $600+ a month and almost $5K off my out of pocket.
Besides, I did the work to get them to my site. I bore the expense of training my people. They have access through my site.
My point being, there are thieves out there stealing what ever they can including, but not limited to work product.
I don’t understand. Does your site direct you to go to the exchange to shop for insurance? You have to enter your email address on healthcare.gov. If so, that’s why they are sending you emails.
FYI – I went on and got a total of 13 plans ranging from $440 to $850 per month with deductibles of $0 to $6,300 and everywhere in between. This was before any subsidy, as I don’t qualify.
Most agents have had their web sites up for years.
There will not be any confusion about who’s web site it is, if it works it’s not the governments.

More supposition and fear-mongering from the right.

It will get worse before it gets better. Not negative or cynical, just the cold hard truth.

Here’s what John Conlee had to say in song:

Libby, you didn’t have to expound. You definitely could have stopped at “I don’t understand”.
Funny guy, huh? I guess with a name like Homer you have to have one thing going for you…
D’oh!
I’m digging. All of a sudden, I cant quote Humana except for certain counties – 5 in IL.
Guess I am shopping for a new GA if that’s my limit.
