Americans are signing up in growing numbers for the Affordable Care Act's subsidized health insurance, the government said Wednesday. It's been a tumultuous year for the health care program passed under former President Barack Obama. Still, the Trump administration cut the enrollment season in half, saying that would actually benefit the ACA by bringing it in line with other health insurance programs. Disappointing sign-ups will set off another round of political blame over health care, with Democrats accusing the administration of "sabotage" and Republicans saying "Obamacare" is deeply flawed. "Where the Trump administration deserves some blame is the combination of a shorter open enrollment period and much less outreach," said Levitt.
