Company that helps Alaskans navigate federal marketplace reports low enrollment

[mad cow]

FAIRBANKS — A company trying to sign up Alaskans in the new federal health insurance marketplace told state legislators Tuesday that it had signed up just three people since Oct. 1.
“We have worked across the entire state of Alaska and all the communities in outreach education and enrollment. ... Unfortunately, the marketplace is not functioning,” said Tyann Boling, the chief operating officer of Enroll Alaska, a company that helps people navigate the Healthcare.gov website and in return receives commissions from insurance companies. “We’ve only had the ability to enroll three individuals in the marketplace. We expected at this point to have enrolled close to 2,000.”

Almost one a week.In 700,000 weeks the navigators can say "Our job here is done".

I can one-up (or one-down in this case) the OP. Kansas navigators say they've enrolled no one.

All these people who became navigators for what they thought would be easy money....I'm lovin it.
