The Trump administration will give only $10 million in 2019 to Obamacare nonprofits called “navigators” that help people sign up for insurance, a major drop from the nearly $40 million they got this year.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services said on Tuesday that the need for the navigators has diminished because Americans are more familiar with Obamacare’s insurance exchanges. The administration gave $36 million to 98 navigators in 2018, which was a 40 percent cut from 2017 funding given out by the Obama administration.
