The Dept. of Health and Human Services has quietly canceled a contract to a Chicago-based advocacy group that planned to promote ObamaCare benefits to recently paroled prisoners, after GOP Sen. Jeff Sessions wrote a letter to the agency in July questioning how the contract was funded.

The HHS awarded the no-bid contract to Treatment Alternatives for Safe Communities in July in order to “increase insurance enrollment for… individuals involved in the criminal justice system,” but then quietly updated the solicitation’s status to “canceled” on its website, saying it would be re-issued.

Anyone working on getting pedophiles, rapists and sex offenders signed up? How about those released from Guantanamo and the criminally insane? Surely there will be navigators for the illegal aliens and those wishing to come here in the future.

They no longer need the convicts...they’ve forced the insurance companies to drop your policy so you’ll have to sign up.

I guess they figure the convicts aren’t dumb enough to sign up.

Oh please...”they” never needed the convicts to fluff out the paid Obamacare enrollees.

Former convicts, who are among the other than celebrity or politician class, were always slated to join the expanded Medicaid rolls, anyways.
Have a criminal record?
Good luck on getting any kind of job.
Millions of illegal aliens with pristine criminal justice records with great stolen ID information /sarcasm//,stand between them and their first after prison, entry level, low wage position.
