President Donald Trump Slashes Funding For Obamacare Enrollment

By Hector Gonzales

The Trump administration is cutting most of the funding for a program that helps people sign up for Obamacare.  The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid announced they will provide only $10,000,000 for the navigator program when the next enrollment period begins this fall.  That's down from nearly $37,000,000 last year.  It coincides with a 90% cut in the advertising budget for Obamacare.  It's the latest in a series of moves by the White  House to weaken the Affordable Care Act.
