Interesting Trump officials approve Georgia plan to remove healthcare.gov as enrollment option
BY PETER SULLIVAN / THE HILL
The Trump administration on Sunday evening approved Georgia’s proposal to eliminate the federal healthcare.gov website as a path to enroll in health insurance, instead directing people to private brokers and insurers.
The Trump administration and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) argue the move will increase innovation from the private sector, but Democrats denounced the move as creating confusion for consumers that will result in some people losing coverage.
The move would make Georgia the first state to have no government-run website to enroll in ObamaCare coverage.
Under the waiver Kemp requested and the Trump administration approved, consumers in Georgia will no longer be able to enroll in health care coverage through the healthcare.gov website starting in 2023.
There are currently 36 states using the federal healthcare.gov site, while the other 14 run their own websites
