The Office of Refugee Resettlement has sent out an announcement to ‘come and get it’-–$54 million in grant money for non-profits to help the “needy” find their way to free health care through Obamacare! Did I hear somewhere else that “navigators” will help their ‘clients’ register to vote as well?
Here is what Health and Human Services has sent around to Refugee advocates. A linked pdf tells us this:
This Funding Opportunity Announcement has been developed to enable recipients to operate as Exchange Navigators in States with a Federally-facilitated Exchange (FFE), as authorized under Section 1311(i) of the Affordable Care Act. Any State electing not to pursue a State-based Exchange for benefit year 2014 will have an FFE or a State Partnership Exchange in the case of a State collaborating with an FFE in a Consumer and/or Plan Management Partnership Exchange.
HHS will award up to $54,000,000 to recipients.
To learn more and get to the Cooperative agreement that lists which states (p. 8 & 9) will have navigators and how much money will be allocated in each state for navigators, go here, and then look for the “cooperative agreement” a pdf document.
