No Smooth Sailing With Obamacare Navigators

The Obama Administration is spending $67 million for Navigators, private groups, to “help” the American people understand their Obamacare better.

A four-page questionnaire from the House Energy and Commerce committee went out on Thursday, September 5, 2013 asking these groups, largely nonprofits, to provide detailed information about the work they plan to conduct.

BEST PICTURE OF A BOTCHED BOTOX JOB.- NEVER LOOKED BETTER. ONLY KIDDING KATHY! - Kathleen Sebelius, which appeared puffy in October 2009 while she testified to a Senate committee. Sebelius had a basal cell carcinoma removed from her forehead on the day before during a successful standard outpatient procedure, according to HHS spokeswoman Jenny Backus.The Department of Health & Human Services, HHS, under Kathleen Sebelius had pushed back. “This is a blatant and shameful attempt to intimidate groups who will be working to inform Americans about their new health insurance options and help them enroll in coverage, just like Medicare counselors have been doing for years,” HHS spokesperson Erin Shields Britt said as she failed to mention the counselors dealt with the social security benefits records only and did not handle IRS information, employment health insurance coverage history or personal financial information.

So Kathleen Sebelius, what is the huge deal about these groups showing what work they plan to do for their $67 Million? What is so secret in a very public program? After all, the public is dropping their drawers and exposing everything to strangers, why can't they drop their panties too?

Since this is coming out of the pockets of taxpaying Americans like you, do you think you should know all of the facts? -- Here is what the Obama Health Care Bill says & does:

Obamacare Privacy & Security Regulations - The Exchange regulations, at 45 CFR § 155.260(a), establish privacy and security standards for Exchanges, and § 155.260(b) provides that Exchanges must require Navigators and other non-Exchange entities to abide by the same or more stringent privacy and security standards as a condition of contract or agreement with such entities. Consistent with these requirements, we propose that the training for Navigators and non-Navigator assistance personnel must include training designed to ensure that they safeguard consumers' sensitive personal information including but not limited to health information, income and tax information, and Social Security number.

The key to the Navigators' provision is the description of the Navigators themselvesNavigator Assistant training will have a lot of young adults - Are these the kind of "Real Professionals" you pictured helping with your very private information? I never did! It sort of looks like a "Community Organizer" meeting. together with non-exchange personnel as 'Navigators and other non-Exchange entities' to abide the same[or]..standards.  It is vague and hardly convincing that personal health records, consumer credit information, Federal income tax reports and employment records collected into one single location in the health care program are protected from prying eyes of various other Federal agencies'  and outsiders' scrutiny.

The standards further state "we propose the training for Navigators and non-Navigator assistance personnel." This further condemns the personnel training program. Due to the inclusion of the Navigator and many Non-Navigator Assistant Personnel, by its nature it defines a two-tier level of service to millions of enrollees. Because administrative costs are paramount, a Navigator with multitudes of 'non-Navigator assistance personnel' will definitely be implemented. How do they do "background checks" for so many non-Navigator Assistants before the program starts? What about identity theft safeguards?

What educational level or pay grade are these 'non-Navigator assistance personnel' sitting around the floor? ...And THEY are exposed to your most private, personal health and financial information? ...Obama is kidding, huh?  NO!

What else can the American people expect in an unwisely designed socialized medicine program? Well obviously many of these consumers will be unfamiliar with health insurance or not literate in English. This implies, by that previous statement, there are many citizens who are under the radar, illegals and illiterates, many that have not contributed or will ever significantly pay for this health coverage. Furthermore, these huge Federally-run welfare programs are rife with graft, corruption and down-right dishonesty such as with food stamps, SNAP; family assistance; housing assistance, etc.

While on the subject of dishonesty, Obama has not mentioned the "SEIU UnionSEIU Union President, Mike Trumpka, at Rally. Membership Sweetheart Deal" to sign up potentially thousands of Federal SEIU union members paying hundreds of millions in union dues to bolster the left-wing image, and shore up the Democrat voting block while pushing Obamacare programs. This is the same indoctrination program that in just four years has nearly doubled dependents on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, SNAP food stamps program. (FYI Stats: During BHO 4 years term: a 128% increase from 2008, $35 Billion to 2012, $75 Billion) In total benefits, people have not called Obama the "Food Stamp President" for nothing. (FYI Stats: During the GWB 8 years term: a 52% increase from 2000, $17 Billion to 1977, $26 Billion) Obama still has four more years to double SNAP once again!

Who are the 'non-Exchange entities' to abide by the same or more stringent privacy and security standards as a condition of contract or agreement with such entities?  Does "Community Organizer" come to mind? The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now or ACORN were driven into bankruptcy and out of business. The organization officially announced the closure of its offices in 2010 after losing government funding due to the legal controversies with fines, several members indicted, convicted and sent to prison. 

Soon afterwards, ACORN quietly metamorphosed the same organization into new names. At least two of the groups, 'Affordable Housing Centers of America', AHCA, and 'Mutual Housing Association of New York', MHANY, have already received federal dollars. The connections between these groups and the old ACORN groups include: having the same physical location, sharing leadership or staff or having the same tax ID number. “For some of these groups, all they did was legally change their name. Nothing else changed. The corporate structure, leadership and staff are the same,” said Karen Groen Olea, Cause of Action’s chief counsel.

As the Obama administration fills jobs of the navigators and non-Navigator assistance personnel, they will be filled by organizations with political agendas, including unions, SAIC. and community action groups, AHCA. Just watch to see if Obama now introduces 'voter registration filings" into these health care registration forms, it will be like motor vehicle registration with convenient voter check boxes. Do you think these non-Navigator assistants can help these first time free health care recipients to vote and will they register as Democrats too?  Hmmn...

IRS Voter Registration Fraud & Ballots

Washington vs. Immigration Issues

All politicians in Washington, DC under the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations have continuously been working on solving citizenship issues about, take your pick, "illegal aliens" or "undocumented immigrants". Simultaneously, an ongoing collusion of the Federal government with the Internal Revenue Service to undermine the entire immigration program has flown under the public's radar screen. Washington has been aware of this IRS problem for the better part of a decade and a half and done nada! (sp.-nothing) - we offer bi-lingual copy.

According to a "2011" TIGTA treasury report, by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), "the IRS since 1996 has been issuing what it calls Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) to both non-resident aliens who have tax liability in the U.S. and illegal aliens living in the U.S. but who are “not authorized to work in the country.”

“The IRS has long known it was giving these numbers to illegal aliens, and thus facilitating their ability to work illegally in the United States. For example, the Treasury Inspector General’s Semiannual Report to Congress published on Oct. 29, 1999—nearly fourteen years ago—specifically drew attention to this problem,” CNSNews.com explains.

Another IRS Scandal?

Horrors! (mock sarcasm) According to a "2012" TIGTA treasury report, the IRS has sent more than $46 million in tax refunds to 23,994 “unauthorized” alien workers who all listed the same address in Atlanta, Ga. In fact, it wasn’t even the only address in Atlanta that was claiming such a situation. There were a total of 154 addresses across the U.S. that appeared on 1,000 or more ITIN applications submitted to the IRS.

Read what a "1999" TIGTA treasury report warned then: “The IRS issues Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) to undocumented aliens to improve nonresident alien compliance with tax laws. This IRS practice seems counter-productive to the Immigration and Naturalization Service’s (INS) mission to identify undocumented aliens and prevent unlawful alien entry.”

What does the IRS Say?

The "2012" TIGTA treasury report (Reference Number: 2012-42-081) by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) reveals the truth here.

We initiated this audit based on information forwarded to us by a U.S. Representative and a U.S. Senator. The information forwarded were complaints by two Internal Revenue Service (IRS) employees alleging that IRS management was requiring employees to assign Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITIN) even when the applications were fraudulent. Synopses of the employees’ allegations include the following:

The Allegations:

• IRS management is not concerned with addressing fraudulent applications in the ITIN Operations Department because of the job security that the large inventory of applications to process provides. Management is interested only in the volume of applications that can be processed, regardless of whether they are fraudulent.

• IRS management has indicated that no function of the IRS, including Criminal Investigation and the Accounts Management Taxpayer Assurance Program, is interested in dealing with ITIN application fraud. In the meantime, there is a potential that erroneous tax refunds are going to non-qualifying individuals, allowing them to defraud the Federal Government of billions of dollars.

The Findings: (From TIGTA Report results)

http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/auditreports/2012reports/201242081fr.pdf

Management Has Created an Environment Which Discourages Employees From Detecting Fraudulent Applications

"The environment created by management discourages tax examiners from identifying questionable ITIN applications. Although the IRS states that the mission of the ITIN Program is to ensure ITINs are issued timely to qualifying individuals , IRS management’s primary focus is on quickly processing the applications rather than on ensuring ITINs are issued only to qualifying individuals. The lack of emphasis on identifying questionable applications is demonstrated by the processing time periods set for tax examiner review of the applications, the lack of extensive training on identifying questionable applications, and the criteria tax examiners are required to follow when identifying an application as questionable. It should be noted that even if the training was adequate, it is unrealistic to expect tax examiners to be proficient in identifying questionable applications when the IRS accepts copies of supporting documentation rather than requiring original documents or copies certified by the issuing governmental agency." (Pg.7)

"Based on our review of the mass grievance, it does not specifically address the issue of the time needed to analyze ITIN applications, but addresses the general issue of how employees’ work is measured and evaluated." (Pg.8)

• "The main purpose of the Quality Review Program is to ensure that the information input from the ITIN application is entered correctly into the ITIN Real-Time System."(Pg.10)

• "The process does not evaluate whether a tax examiner correctly determined whether the ITIN application was fraudulent." (Pg.10)

So, the IRS report's solo emphasis is on the employee performance evaluation processes, not the employee proficiency in work performance accuracy  critical to the job's end goal of "processing unfraudulent legal applications".

Does this affect national Presidential election outcomes?

 

Looking at the polls on what the public wants, by a huge margin they support more transparency, not just passing more legislation and laws to increase the size and scope of big government - Size does matter!

• The most serious matter at hand is voter fraud, which is the keystone support giving power to the U.S. citizens. Illegal Individual Tax ID Numbers displace the legal work force and inflate the welfare rolls as jobs are filled and more work harder to find. The illegals vote for more government welfare while earning minimum wages and not adding any significant amounts into the tax rolls. Without honesty at the ballot box, voter fraud prevails, the rightful majority loses their choices and then corrupt politicians and dishonest legislation win the elections.

• The "Driver's License" Voter Registration laws leads to more voter fraud. Anyone can establish their name and a residence address by showing up with a water or gas bill, applying for a driver's license and taking a driving test to obtain a valid driver's license. A simple "voter" check box at the bottom of the driver's license form effortlessly registers them to add their name to the voter rolls and voilà, another illegal voter stuffing the ballot boxes!

• Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) leads to more voter fraud. (both non-resident aliens and resident aliens) According to the TIGTA treasury report," it is unrealistic to expect tax examiners to be proficient in identifying questionable applications (IRS can't find the Fraud) when the IRS accepts copies of supporting documentation like birth certificates (IRS takes any xeroxes) rather than requiring original documents or copies certified by the issuing governmental agency."

• Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) and Driver Licenses are now fraudulently issued on such a massive scale that it will corrupt American balloting results forever.
  

Watch the 2016 Presidential Election!
