10 Obamacare Tips to Save You Money in 2018
Big changes are coming to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) this fall, which is more commonly known as Obamacare, and they aren't of the variety that's likely to increase enrollment and make the program more sustainable for insurers.
According to Department of Health and Human Services officials, the Trump administration is slashing outreach and navigator funding for the upcoming enrollment cycle, which begins on Nov. 1, 2017 and ends on Dec. 15, 2017, for the 2018 calendar year. Outreach funding, which involves marketing and advertising to make consumers aware of their enrollment options, is being cut by 90% to just $10 million, while navigator funding (navigators answer questions for consumers and guide them in their search for an ACA plan) will be cut by 41%. The administration justified the latter cut by pointing out that navigators hadn't been hitting their enrollment objectives.
