Somarco, if you have $54 million dollars, need tens of thousands of navigators to canvass the country, and will pay each one of them $20 to $48 per hour, how many navigators will you get?

Let's say CA gets $5 million of that, spread across the 21,000 navs they expect/want to hire. My obama calculator says each nav will get a total of $238.
Ain't gonna work folks
We can thank house repubs for the tight purse strings, and not allowing HHS any more money.

This Obamamess sounds like a smashing success
Who needs navs when we have Ehealth:
In Obamacare, online insurance brokers see potential windfall

Let's see if we got this right...Over the entire 6 months of ObamaCare's grand inaugural open enrollment, the $20 per hour navigators will be paid for approximately 11 hours of work. The highly skilled $48 per hour guys/gals will be paid for almost 5 hours of dedicated effort. LMAO!
No wonder Kathleen Sebelius is for the first time publicly venting her frustrations with implementing this monstrosity. If it weren't for the President wanting this monstrosity as his main legacy, Sebelius would delay the indivdual exchanges/marketplaces for a year, like she did the S.H.O.P..

I don't know who the "consumer advocates" are in the story, but they're obviously ignorant of how the exchange plans are regulated and how puny commissions will be...particularly after e-Health takes its cut.

Ok, so I worked out the numbers below in Colorado. If it takes a navigator an hour to sign up someone, it's at $116/hr wage. If it takes 1.5 hours to sign someone up, it's at a $91/hr wage.
--------------------------
A key unknown is how long it will take new enrollees to be taught by trained "navigators" about their available subsidy, and what health-plan options suit their families. If each new enrollee takes 90 minutes, and the first year brings 142,000 members, the board needs to budget $19.5 million for the first year of its sign-up operations.
If 113,000 sign up and each takes about 75 minutes, the first-year budget needs about $15 million, planners said. A third scenario of 103,000 people taking 60 minutes each would cost $12 million.

Agents have an advantage and unlimited market in FFE states:
CQ
(4/18, Norman, Subscription Publication) reports, "When enrollment in the new health insurance exchanges launches in October, states with federally operated exchanges may have far fewer government-funded people to help consumers choose plans than states that decided to run their own exchanges." Yet, "many of those states with federal exchanges are also home to the largest crowds of uninsured people who will need information and hand-holding when they sign up for coverage." The article then profiles several state exchanges, including those in New York and Texas, and the level of funding their "navigator" programs are receiving.

Only $48/hour? That wouldn't pay my hooker & gambling bills.
