Cites issues regarding implementation
Gov website recently changed definitions
HHS - education and outreach - assigned to navigators
groups little training, oversight
concerns about call centers - employees with little experience
federal call centers not equipped with information
technical issues - application and exchange and data hub
states must have own application
no-cost solution for income eligibility, but learned in June it would be state responsibility
Serious questions about ACA being delayed, suggest entire law be repealed and replaced
Eleanor Sobel
Florida state senator
Florida is punishing by putting up roadblocks
message HC is a privilege not a right,
we are here to put up roadblocks
divided in State legislature
we came up with public private partnership bipartisan - to help implement the program
House, Gov and cabinet are preventing implementation of law
Florida has large number who need this law
Rick Scott contradicts himself
Focus on sandbag issues:
best way to defeat program - make sure no one knows about it
Gov Scott - restricting navigators - violate Hippa law
two: legislature passed bill - lowest rates possible
we must find a way to put aside differences and move forward with the law.
