The Massachusetts Health Connector and Massachusetts Association of Portuguese Speakers (MAPS) joined together to help local residents find the proper health-insurance plans for themselves and their families during the upcoming open enrollment period.

MAPS is one of 10 organizations across the state that received grants for the Health Connector's Navigator program, in which residents can learn about new coverage options available through the Affordable Care Act.

"We're going to be targeting not only Portuguese-speaking individuals and small businesses, but also everyone that needs this," said Paulo Pinto, executive director of MAPS.

"And making sure that everyone that is underinsured or uninsured, regardless if they're immigrants or not, to make sure that they get insurance coverage," he added. "It's truly essential to promote a healthy population in the state."

Multiply MAPS a million times over and you’ll see a major problem with ObamaCare - vast armies of bureaucratic, parasitic quangos sucking up billions of taxpayer dollars for acting as OFA recruiters. This is the exploded bits of ACORN reconstituted like some alien lifeform in a bad SciFi flick. This navigator money is nothing but a slush fund for Obama’s Alinskyite project to destroy the US.

The job of these “Health Care Navigators” is to convince young people to buy health insurance that they do not need, at a much higher price than they should be paying. While that sort of scam isn’t illegal, it is so obviously immoral that I do not expect any decent people to accept such a job. Those who trust the navigators will get what they deserve.

These navigator outfits need to be infiltrated and exposed. We need a bunch of James O’Keefes to join.
