Obamacare enrollment fell slightly this year, with 11.8 million consumers signing up for coverage compared with 12.2 million in 2017, according to an official count from the Trump administration.
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Seema Verma tweeted the 2018 open enrollment, saying it was the “most cost-effective and successful” open enrollment to date. The Trump administration slashed outreach funding and halted insurer payments in the run-up to the 2018 open enrollment period late last year.
