(68,868 posts)I ding those dingbat authors for citing rightwingers in their attempts to smear the ACA.
You respond by citing rightwingers in order to bolster your smear on the ACA (you cited a Forbes article by Avik Roy, who works for the rightwing Manhattan Institute, writes for The National Review, is a booster of the Koch Brothers and ALEC, and was Mitt Romney's health care advisor in 2012.
And, of course, here you are endorsing the Republican scare efforts re: navigators being a bunch of criminals.
The fact is that these navigators are subject to criminal backgrounds in states just like Medicare counselors are. It is literally no story at all that they're subject to the same guidelines as Medicare counselors are.
But you and Darrell Issa have never made a stink about Medicare counselors committing insurance fraud. Why? Because it doesn't suit the agenda you share with Darrell Issa and the Republican/Tea Parties--sabotaging the ACA.
Given your propensity to pimp rightwing talking points and rely upon the work of rightwing think tanks and front groups, forgive me if I don't believe your tale of having this wonderful cheap insurance that covers all you need and is being ruined by mean ol Obamacare. Sounds like something you read on Drudge.
