Getting people to the library, one insurance policy at a time

This is one of those “Do what?” things. The Central Arkansas Library System is hiring In-Person Assisters to help people get into the state health exchange. For $12 an hour, the system wants people who are computer proficient and who have excellent communications and customer service skills. The library web site says the jobs are grant-funded “(d)ue to the Affordable Care Act.”

I’m going out on a short, strong limb here and say people working these jobs will not be overwhelmed by numbers of people flocking to libraries in order to sign up, unless the state of Arkansas orders people to go to the libraries and provides transportation and pays the people so ordered.
