    Obamacare: Feds to hire tens of thousands of 'navigators' at $20-$48/hour

    Tens of thousands of health care professionals, union workers and community activists hired as "navigators" to help Americans choose Obamacare options starting Oct. 1 will be paid up to $48 an hour, more than six times the federal minimum wage of $7.25, according to new regulations issued Wednesday.

    The 63-page rule covering navigators, drawn up by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, also said the government will provide free translators for those not fluent in English -- no matter what their native language is.

    "The proposed requirements would also include that such entities and individuals provide consumers with information and assistance in the consumer's preferred language, at no cost to the consumer, which would include oral interpretation of non-English languages and the translation of written documents in non-English languages when necessary to ensure meaningful access," said the regulations.

    The rules also addressed conflict of interest and other potential issues that navigators could face as the public's first stop on the Obamacare trail.

    It is still not clear how many navigators will be required. California, however, provides a hint. It wants 21,000.

    That could be an expensive proposition, since every one of them must be paid a minimum of $20 an hour. According to the new regulations, navigators and assistants will earn $20 an hour, while navigator project leaders will earn $29 an hour. Navigator senior executives will be paid $48 an hour.

    The rules allow navigators to come from the ranks of unions, health providers and community action groups such as ACORN and Planned Parenthood. They are required to provide unbiased advice.

    Some in Congress are already wary of the navigators. Louisiana Republican Rep. Charles Boustany Jr., chairman of the House Ways and Means Oversight subcommittee, has raised questions about a voter registration provision in the Obamacare application Americans will have to fill out to receive health care, and whether Democratic-leaning activists will influence which party people choose to join.

    Exactly. The average person thinks this is wonderful. Good paying jobs, where is the harm in that. Little do they know, the parasite class is building at the expense of the remnant productive.

    Seriously. And it'll be even more fun to navigate people towards non-compliance when reasonable while getting paid for it.

    Oh, and you can bet your ass that these "navigators" will be fully trained to See Something, Say Something.

    They will be casing your home and reporting back any items of non compliance they find.

    In California, our Assembly Speaker is pushing a bill to set up a state board to certify interpreters who will get paid no less than $60/hour to help the millions who will join the low income health plans who don't speak English.

    So basically these people are Obamacare salesmen?

    Imagine someone who can't speak English getting paid $20/hr to try to convince you to choose Obamacare. What a messed up country this is.

    Get prepared for the, "We can't repeal Obamacare! We need the tens of thousands of jobs that it provides!" This will first be hinted at by the Democrats and then shouted by Republicans as their excuse for not repealing.

    So: let's deal with the issue of some people being unable to afford health care - by enacting a program that will drive costs even higher.

    Then - when the invevitable happens - we can just blame the "free market." On that basis, we can then demand yet more programs designed to line the pockets of bureaucrats, government employees, and lobbyists/cronies - while at the same time stroking the psyches of those "useful idiots" who don't have an actual seat on the gravy train but who nevertheless enjoy masturbating over how "caring" and "compassionate" they are because they support such things.

    This program (and any others like it) isn't "useless" or "counter-productive" or "foolish" or any such thing. It will, in fact, accomplish EXACTLY what it was intended to accomplish ...

    Now why in the land of individual rights is that not the norm?

    It's time that English was made the language of all government transactions. Friggin' ridiculous.

    thought that was high pay for a while - but just think of the headaches and stress this job would have to go with it.
