That identity theft and insurance scams will occur once the Obamacare mandate kicks in on Oct. 1 is one of the few things on which supporters and opponents of the program agree.
The reason is simple: Thousands of poorly trained "navigators" -- they're certified after 20 hours of online study -- will be assisting people who sign up for Obamacare.
Paid $58 per application and $25 per annual renewal, these navigators will gain access to Social Security numbers, tax information and other sensitive personal information.
They will not have to undergo background checks.
The Department of Health and Human Services will not verify their employment histories.
Nor will HHS check to see if they have criminal records.
The opportunity and incentive for fraud have rarely been so inviting.
