Today I passed the exam to be a Certified Application Counselor for ACA

[WI_DEM]

I had 18-hours of on site training and several more hours of study. Today I am happy to say I passed the exam and am certified to help people get insurance thru the Affordable Care Act. I'm looking forward to doing this as I think it's a good step in the right direction (Single Payer would be my preference). Now waiting for the health care organization I work for to get its certification so that I can get to work.

3. that's awesome that you will be helping many

Maybe...if you feel energetic and have a bit of extra time....you can do a ask me anything thread about the ACA here on DU ? Just a half baked idea.

15. Half-baked - Hell no

This is a terrific idea, and we will put upon WI_DEM (whether he/she likes it or not)

I was being modest, I agree. I just felt a twinge of guilt for "foisting" my thought on him/her. I know it will take some time and energy to do it.

Do you know if everyone who applies has to submit financial info, or just people who want a subsidy?

21. You rock

I'm predicting that it will be a very personally fulfilling job -- helping people get health insurance who may have never had it before for themselves or their families.

And agree that it is a step in the right direction. And I hope to be able to say one day: "Public option now, new democratic 2015 house majority!"

At last we have a platform from which to build.
