Consumers in Georgia and three other states who were helped by navigators for the 2014 insurance exchanges tended to be people of color who were not financially secure, a recently released report says.Navigators, who are specially trained in the provisions of the Affordable Care Act, popularly known as “Obamacare,” provide face-to-face, in-person help for consumers seeking information about health insurance policies in the state exchanges, also called marketplaces.The report by the University of Georgia also said many consumers helped by Seedco navigators in the four states had limited knowledge about health insurance concepts.Seedco, a nonprofit group, was the lead organization in Georgia supplying navigators during the last open-enrollment period for the ACA insurance exchanges. It also provided these counselors in Tennessee, New York and Maryland, and will do so again in the new enrollment period, which starts next month.A UGA unit was the second Georgia navigator grantee group last year, but it is barred from participating this time by a newly passed state law. Top Georgia officials have been strongly critical of the ACA and have worked to limit official state involvement in its programs.The UGA report found that among consumers in the four states helped by Seedco navigators, almost two-thirds (64.5 percent) were people of color.
