Obamacare navigators grapple with Trump's 'devastating' funding cuts

Some groups tasked with signing up people for Obamacare plans, called navigators, are facing budget cuts of as much as 90 percent as the Trump administration slashes funding to the groups for the 2018 signup period.

Currently, 98 navigators receive federal grants each year to assist in signing up and educating people about picking a plan on Obamacare. The navigators received $62.5 million in funding for 2017’s open enrollment period, but the Trump administration reduced funding 40 percent to $37.8 million.
