The Trump administration took another swipe at the Affordable Care Act recently in announcing that it's cutting funding to ACA 'navigators' 72 percent, from $36 million to $10 million. In North Carolina, the cut is even more severe: an 85 percent cut from $3.4 million to $500,000. That will hurt the efforts of navigators to help get people enrolled in health insurance.
