President Donald Trump to Obamacare ads: Drop Dead!
The Trump administration has reportedly killed media ads designed to encourage people to enroll in insurance coverage through the federal Obamacare marketplace before next Tuesday's open-enrollment deadline.
The White House also has ended other outreach efforts to spur sign-ups on the HealthCare.govmarketplace, according to Politico, which broke the story Thursday.
That outreach includes emails that HealthCare.gov had been sending out to people who began, but did not complete, the enrollment process.
Kevin Counihan, who until last week was CEO of that marketplace, HealthCare.gov, in a statement to CNBC called the move an "outrageous decision" to "sabotage open enrollment" in Obamacare.
His comments were echoed by Leslie Dach, a former top Obama administration health official who is now director of the Protect Our Care Coalition. Dach said in a emailed statement, "This is sabotage pure and simple."
