Biden Will Sign Executive Orders to Revoke Trump’s Abortion Policy and Expand Obamacare
President Biden will sign two executive actions Thursday that is designed to expand access to reproductive health care and health insurance through the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid.
The president’s memorandum instructs the Department of Health and Human Services to open a special enrollment period for the Affordable Care Act through HealthCare.gov, the federally run health insurance marketplace. The enrollment period will run from Feb. 15 to May 15, giving Americans who have lost their employer-based health insurance due to the pandemic an opportunity to sign up for coverage.
“For President Biden, this is personal,” a news release read. “As we continue to battle COVID-19, it is even more critical that Americans have meaningful access to affordable care.”
