"Navigators"

I'm not saying Trump's spiteful attempts to sabotage Obamacare aren't reprehensible, but maybe the problem is that all this was needed to make the damn thing work in the first place:

In Michigan, some groups tasked with enrolling people in health care coverage, so-called navigators, saw budget reductions up to 90 percent. Inside the state, officials were left to scramble as this cycle's enrollment period fast approaches.

Some Michigan organizations have cut their entire staffs and dialed back substantially on community outreach efforts. Others have turned to college interns for help signing people up for insurance on ACA exchanges. In some cases, a number of counties will now simply not receive assistance from navigator programs, leaving it up to people to sift through often complex insurance-purchasing decisions, if they make that decision at all.
