The Trump administration is looking to target ‘program integrity’ within the Affordable Care Act marketplace with a new proposed rule, while also reducing funding for the ACA navigator program to $10 million.
ACA navigators are trained to help consumers and small businesses find coverage options. CMS said Feb. 14 that despite receiving $98 million in 2024, the navigator program enrolled just 92,000 people. The funding cut is expected to save $360 million over the next four years, with the savings directed toward lowering user fees and premiums for those paying full premiums without subsidies. Under the Biden administration, CMS had committed $500 million over five years to improve marketplace efficiency and target underserved populations, with $100 million awarded in August.
