Although our lovely Missouri Republican state government is not "causing" the problems with online registration in ACA, it is determined to keep it from succeeding. Our "great" legislators decided to refuse the federal Medicaid money and is forcing Missourians to use the federal marketplace.....and just to actually make it more difficult for those wanting to get signed up....it has passed Prop E which bars all state workers from assisting Missourians in signing up. In fact, Senate bill 262 will fine anyone (even a private individual) who helps someone else with the signup unless they have a license as a navigator. This law does much more to limit what a navigator is allowed to say and do to help the applicant. Check out the info outlined in an editorial in th St Louis Post Dispatch from 10/9/13.
