Abstract

The Trump administration has significantly reduced funding for the ACA Navigator program, cutting it by 90% to $10 million annually, down from $98 million the previous year. This move is expected to save $360 million over the next four years but has raised concerns among patient advocates and healthcare researchers who believe it will make it harder for Americans to access the right health coverage. Navigators play a crucial role in educating consumers about their insurance options, particularly in minority and underserved communities, and help individuals transition between different coverage types, such as Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program.
