Obamacare ‘Navigator’ In Kansas Has Outstanding Arrest Warrant

Quote:A woman with an outstanding warrant for her arrest is currently serving as an Obamacare “navigator” in Lawrence, Kansas. Rosilyn Wells — the Director of Outreach and Enrollment for the Heartland Community Health-care Center (HCHC) – is “the only full-time Affordable Care Act navigator in Lawrence,” according to the Lawrence Journal-World. Wells was certified as an Obamacare navigator despite her financial history, which includes a bankruptcy in 2003, a 2007 civil charge from a local check cashing business called Midwest Checkrite for writing a bad check, being more than $1700 behind on her state tax bill, and having an outstanding arrest warrant in nearby Shawnee County. Wells lives and works in Douglass County. Reached by phone, The Shawnee County Sheriff’s Office would not elaborate on the specific charges related to Wells’ arrest warrant. Navigators are creations of the federal government and they are paid to work closely with consumers — and their personal information — to help them navigate the newly-created Obamacare exchanges. The Obamacare navigator program has fallen under heavy criticism for its privacy pitfalls, with the House Oversight Committee issuing a report only two weeks ago which warned that navigators would not be properly vetted to protect consumers. The report pointed out navigators would have access to all sorts of personal data.

Quote:State insurance regulators are encountering sites designed to mimic ObamaCare's enrollment portal, the online hub where millions of people are meant to purchase healthcare coverage. Attempts at imitating healthcare.gov have met with cease-and-desist letters; the sites could confuse consumers seeking to enter ObamaCare's marketplaces. In New Hampshire, the insurance commissioner reportedly cracked down on one webpage last week that could have been mistaken for the state's insurance exchange. And regulators from Washington, Pennsylvania and Connecticut are warning the health insurance industry against creating sites that might mislead the public. The healthcare law is expected to prompt fraud attempts similar to those seen in Medicare and other government programs. It's unclear whether the technical problems plaguing the ObamaCare enrollment portal are increasing the instance of consumer scams. One classic trick is perpetrated when Medicare beneficiaries receive a call from someone who says they work from the government. The caller then asks for sensitive personal details — such as bank account and Social Security numbers — in the name of presenting the individual with a new Medicare card. Regulators fear that ObamaCare will give rise to similar scams and warn consumers not to release their personal information to unverified callers.

I wonder how much his occasional "chill" cigarettes costs tax payers when he's got 20 Secret Service huddled around him in a circle so nobody can snap a pic of him smoking.
