The Obama administration added millions of dollars to ObamaCare's enrollment push Thursday, a surprise move designed to help bolster participation in new insurance plans.
The Health and Human Services Department (HHS) announced $67 million in funding for “navigators,” which are people and community groups who will help people make sense of their options under the healthcare law.
HHS had initially said navigators would receive $54 million in grants, but officials said they pulled an extra $13 million from the healthcare law’s prevention fund to help broaden the reach of the program.
brace yourself for the right wing misinformation tsunami coming to your TV soon. this is a good idea it allows the truth to be given to the people and no more will the 5 year voyage of falsity's by the republicans be the lead story, they'll probably revive grandma under the bus and death squads seriously what else can they say that they haven't already?
"Navigators will be among the many resources available to help consumers understand their coverage options in the marketplace," HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a press release. "A network of volunteers on the ground in every state — health care providers, business leaders, faith leaders, community groups, advocates, and local elected officials — can help spread the word and encourage their neighbors to get enrolled."
All told, more than 100 organizations in 34 states received grants on Thursday.
watch the rhetoric from the republicans, it well escalate and become more accusatory with no facts to back it, you remember like they've been doing from the beginning you'll recognize it because it will be very familiar just more untrue accusations and wait till they start on the money, well i'll ask up front account for the millions spent on your witch hunts that proved the opposite that they said was there, nothing going on but their own obstruction. also this money will benefit the public by rebuking their lies, their money only benefits the news empires.
