A 14-page website dedicated tothe ACA was quietly removed from Medicaid.gov last month.

Here's another way the Trump administration is seeking toundermine the Affordable Care Act: It's notproviding information about it to people.

The Sunlight Foundation reports that a number of government agencieshave recently removed information from their websites relating tothe ACA.

“Early last month, a 14-page website dedicated to the ACA wasremoved from Medicaid.gov, the website for the Center for Medicaidand CHIP Services,” writes Sunlight's Rachel Bergman. “Whilecontent from some of these pages is still live elsewhere onMedicaid.gov, most of the information, which remains accurate andrelevant for Medicaid recipients, has been entirely removed. Aprominent link and dropdown menu with the text 'Affordable CareAct' has also been removed from Medicaid.gov's top menu, indicatinga shift in how information is now being presented on thewebsite.”

Bergman notes that similar action was taken on Medicare.gov.

When asked in May about the removal of an ACA reference, theWashington Post was given this response by a CMS representative: “CMS performsroutine updates and maintenance to our websites, which includes therevision and removal of content that is not current orunderutilized. In this instance, there was a period of time whenpeople with Medicare coverage had questions and interest in the ACAand its impact on Medicare. However, the ACA has now been law forover eight years and both HealthCare.gov and www.cms.gov/cciio[cms.gov] are well-established sites for Healthcare Exchangeinformation.”

The removals are consistent with other actions theadministration has taken to reduce information about ACA healthplans and make it harder for people to enroll.

Last year, the administration reduced the amount of spending onadvertising for ACA plans by 90 percent and reduced funding forhealth care navigators that help people enroll in plans by 41percent –– from $62.5 million a year to $36.8 million a year.

Earlier this week, the administration announced that it wouldfurther reduce funding for navigators by more than two-thirds –– to$10 million a year.

In addition, groups that apply for navigator grants will beexpected to also provide information to people they help aboutnon-ACA plans, including short-term plans and association plans,both of which may not cover certain medical services that all ACAplans must offer. Some short-term plans, for instance, may notcover hospital visits.

All of these actions, along with the repeal of the individualmandate and the withholding of cost-sharing reduction payments andrisk corridor payments to insurers, contribute to destabilizing theACA marketplace and driving up premiums for those with ACAplans.
