OTHER METHODS BEING USED BY GOP TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM ACCESSING AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE: A preacher in a poor community of TN offered to open his church to help people sign up for ACA. BUT Under rules devised by hostile Tennessee officials, only state-certified agents could help people enroll in Tennessee’s new health care exchange. If a friend, neighbor or community volunteer wanted to share information or insight, that person had to be vetted, fingerprinted and registered with the state insurance department. Under emergency rules the state imposed in mid-September, any unlicensed person caught “facilitating enrollment” in a health care exchange could be fined $1,000 for each offense. “We were fearful about the penalties that could be levied against us,” Crisp says, “so we held off on opening our doors to the community.”
