According to a tally released Tuesday, April 3, by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), about 11.8 million nationwide enrolled in Affordable Care Act (ACA) healthcare plans, a 3 percent drop from 12.2 million enrollees in 2017. This decrease in enrollment follows the Trump Administration’s cuts to insurance subsidy payments and ACA outreach and advertising, as well as a halving of the enrollment period from 12 to 6 weeks.
