> hire a Nigerian kid to just call the doctors listed on Obamacare website which accepted the silver plan

How much did this cost? How did you find/arrange it? This is fascinating. When selecting my healthcare I remember wishing I had the time to make so many calls and then just gambled with an educated guess.

I paid him the US minimum wage and that was a bit too much for him for very little work, kinda spoiled him a bit.

I think I paid around $200.
