Confused by Obamacare? Get help from navigator
Brook-Krasny says assistance is available
If you’re confused by Obamacare and you don’t know how to find your way through the maze of health care exchanges that have been set up to purchase insurance, Assemblyman Alec Brook-Krasny has a solution – hire a navigator.
“Just as one might consult a tax advisor when filing taxes, navigators, designated and certified by the State of New York, can help you find the best insurance plan to fit your needs,” Brook-Krasny (D-Coney Island-Bay Ridge) told the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
“Navigators may help remove barriers to the application process by providing assistance in multiple languages, in community-based settings and during non-traditional hours such as evenings and weekends,” he said.
“Such an expansive marketplace can be daunting, but health care navigators are available to help.”
