Grants for Obamacare’s 98 navigators, organizations that help people with enrollment and other medical questions, expire Friday, and some groups fear they will have to put preparations for open enrollment on hold if they don’t get word on funding soon.

The deadline comes a day after the Trump administration announced it will cut navigator grant funding by nearly 40 percent for 2018 as compared with 2017, and that funding will be given based on how many people a navigator signs up.
