​Fact Check: Is Open Enrollment Really DIY This Year?

Social media has seen a fury of posts urging friends to copy and paste a message saying that ACA (Affordable Care Act) enrollment is DIY (Do-It-Yourself) this year due to the advertising budget being slashed 90%. Is it true?

It’s mostly true, but…Wisconsin Health Insurance Advocate, LLC is here to help. It’s not DIY with our help, which is no-cost. 

It is true that the current administration eliminated all advertising to spread the word about Open Enrollment. This is particularly dangerous because Open Enrollment has also been cut in more than half, the period will now run from November 1st to December 15th.

The funding for Navigators in Wisconsin, people who worked at non-profit organizations and helped spread the word about Open Enrollment and helped people sign up by walking them through the account creation process, has been eliminated.
