HHS Announces $150 Million In Grants To Hire Almost 3K Workers To Help Sign People Up For Obamacare…
Pretty soon they will be paying people to sign up for Obamacare, mark my words.
Via Daily Caller:
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced Wednesday $150 million in grant awards to 1,159 health centers nationwide to help enroll Americans in the health-care law’s new insurance coverage options.
With the new funding, HHS says they expect these centers to hire “2,900 outreach and eligibility assistance workers” to help with education and enrollment.
“Investing in health centers means that people in neighborhoods and towns across the country have one more resource to help them understand their insurance options and enroll in affordable coverage,” Sebelius said in a statement.
With the announcement, HHS also released state-by-state lists of health centers receiving this funding. The department says that health centers currently serve more than 21 million patients a year.
According to HHS, the enrollment assistance grants are meant to “complement and align” with other efforts like the “navigator” program aimed at helping people enroll in Obamacare.
