They hired 635,000 clerks for the census.
I can’t believe a half million clerks with Obamaphones and office equipment couldn’t do the job.
Think of the upside for employment stats, too.
Insurance agents have to be hired, trained and licensed. State laws. Even The One cannot waive that.
They also have to pass a licensing exam in order to get the license. There have to be enough trainers to teach the licensing class. There have to be enough facilities to hold the classes in.
The supply chain for 200,000 trained, licensed agents would take months-to-years.
The Census waits to receive their first set of replies via the mail.
They know where people live and fill in the blanks with these workers going door to door.
The Feds have little idea where to find the uninsured in a way that they could effectively sign people up in less than a 6 months to a year. They just don’t have the time to catch these moving targets.
There only shot was to entice them in with free stuff. They have failed, if it was ever possible for them to succeed anyway.
