HHS inspector general to review Trump administration decision to pull Obamacare ads

The independent watchdog at the Health and Human Services Department says it will investigate the Trump administration’s decision to pull paid advertisements and temporarily suspend other outreach efforts for Healthcare.gov.

HHS Inspector General Daniel Levinson wrote a letter, dated Thursday but made public Friday, to Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Patty Murray after they reached out to ask for a review of the move as the 2016-2017 enrollment season came to a close.
