Today is the beginning of the Affordable Care Act\u2019s open enrollment period.\u00a0 Open enrollment runs through December 15 and you can sign up at www.healthcare.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Democrats want everyone to know about open enrollment so all Americans know they have the opportunity to buy insurance and remain insured. Trump doesn\u2019t want anyone to find out about open enrollment, because he doesn\u2019t want the ACA to succeed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here are 6 of the worst ways Trump has worked to sabotage ACA open enrollment<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    The Trump administration again scheduled<\/a> downtime for the healthcare.gov<\/a> website weekly throughout the open enrollment period.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      The open enrollment period is now half as long<\/a> as it used to be before the Trump administration\u2019s sabotage.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \n

        \n
      1. \n

        The Trump administration is promoting junk insurance plans that undermine<\/a> the ACA marketplace and may not provide the level of coverage people need.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \n

          \n
        1. \n

          The Trump administration slashed<\/a> millions of dollars from outreach programs and advertising aimed at enrolling people in Obamacare plans.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \n

            \n
          1. \n

            The Trump administration limited<\/a> and even abandoned<\/a> state and community partnerships that have played a key role in enrolling harder-to-reach demographics.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \n

              \n
            1. \n

              Trump\u2019s HHS spent taxpayer resources to produce <\/a>anti-ACA videos and scrubbed its website of useful consumer guidance on the ACA.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
