$125 million more requested to implement Obamacare in Colorado | The Daily Caller.
Federal grants have already paid $61 million to set up the one-stop health insurance shop, but the board is now being asked to approve another $125 million federal grant request.
Inquiring, non-progressive minds what to know, what is the $125 million for?
Of the $125 million more wanted by staff of the exchange, which is called Connect for Health Colorado, $14 million would be earmarked for outreach. The organization estimates that 90 percent of Coloradans don’t know about the exchange, what it does or how to use it.
Consumer groups want even more money spent on publicity, asking for $20 million. Groups like Colorado Consumer Health Initiative and CoPIRG Foundation fear that anything less amounts to underfunding the program.
So, is the $20 million consumer groups want, part of the $120 million? Still that leaves $86 million. The article also mentions training for “navigators” so let’s subtract another $10 million, and we are left with $76 million not accounted for.
No cost is too high to implement the progressive nanny state agenda. Young invincibles, you are the target.
