At least 79 tax service providers, including offices of the major companies Liberty Tax Service and Jackson Hewitt Tax Service, are listed as certified Obamacare enrollment entities in the state of California, according to state exchange records. California’s Obamacare exchange Covered California pays enrollment entities for signing people up for Obamacare.
“Certified Enrollment Entities are paid a flat-fee of $58 per successful application and $25 per successful annual renewal,” according to California Health Benefit Advisers. ”The Enrollment Entities compensate the individual Enrollment Counselors.”

So, not only do we have this bullshite rammed down our throat, we also have to pay to get folks signed up for it. Didn't realize we needed to give folks the hard sell for something that is supposedly so great. I would love to hear the sales pitch.

Why wouldn't you want the most people possible signed up for insurance?

Sorry but I think this is a GOOD thing.
People are being told to enroll to a program that is good and right for them.
I do not see the bad here.

How can they get paid when their employees are not licensed insurance agents?

The government stooge is a remarkably compliant animal. It's good and right of course because it's provided by the benevolent state...at the point of a gun though because well...

So this is where all the signups came from in the last month of the enrollment period...

That's the entire mantra of most liberals. You don't need to understand, just know that the gov't is providing it and it's amazing.

You and I as taxpayers...when that false and erroneous information leads to additional expenses.
