Quick Fact: How Many Ways Can Republicans Find to Stop People From Getting Health Insurance?

Republicans continue their fight against the ACA.  Georgia, another red state that has refused to set up its own insurance marketplace, has introduced a new brand of venom into the process.  Georgia is now requiring that navigators, (who have been specifically trained by the federal government to assist people in signing up for health insurance in states with federally designed exchanges), must now pass the state insurance agent test before they can begin to help uninsured Georgians negotiate the profusion of insurance plans offered by the federal marketplace.

Georgia joins Missouri where state law now forbids state and local officials from providing "assistance or resources of any kind" to federal navigators and Ohio, where new regulations prohibit navigators from offering comparisons of different insurance plans, a key element in choosing the right plan for yourself or your family.
Republican - just another word for ugly.
