At least 43 ObamaCARE navigators in California have criminal convictions on their records. These convictions include forgery and welfare fraud. Would you want your personal information handled by someone with a forgery criminal history? Over a million people have lost their health care coverage in California because of ObamaCARE. Yet the Obama regime and his allies in the media have tried to tout California as some sort of ‘success story’ for ObamaCARE.
California has released some disturbing statistics on criminal backgrounds of its navigators, I report today.
A few findings:
At least 43 convicted criminals are working as navigators in California.
One navigator committed forgery twice in twelve years and was also convicted of burglary in between.
One navigator was convicted for committing welfare fraud and had also been caught shoplifting on at least two occasions.
Another navigator had two more forgery convictions, as well as a domestic-violence charge.
At least seven navigators had multiple convictions but were still approved.
Even though applicants are required to self-report prior offenses, records show that 21 prospective certified enrollment counselors failed to do so — and were approved anyway, even though their background check revealed criminal convictions.
In other states, a forgery, welfare-fraud, or other financial-crimes conviction automatically disqualifies applicants from becoming navigators. But in California, that’s not the case.
