At HAAM, the commitment to supporting musicians remains steadfast. Despite recent funding reductions announced by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) concerning the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Navigator program, HAAM assures its members that their access to health insurance will remain unaffected.
The CMS decision impacts programs managed by Foundation Communities, which aid HAAM members in enrolling in ACA healthcare coverage. However, as of February 2025, these federal funding cuts do not directly affect those already covered under ACA health insurance plans.
HAAM is dedicated to maintaining its support for musicians and will continue collaborating with Foundation Communities to ensure high-quality service and connectivity to the ACA. The organization also pledges to monitor any future changes in funding and assess how such changes might influence its mission.
"Whenever our musicians have any questions or worries, rest assured that HAAM is on it," a spokesperson from HAAM stated. They emphasized their ongoing commitment: "HAAM will continue to support our musicians and work with Foundation Communities."
