PoolPresident Biden just signed two health care executive actions, including one reopening enrollment on the federal Affordable Care Act exchanges. "There's nothing new we're doing here other than restoring the Affordable Care Act and restoring the Medicaid to the way it was before Trump became President," Biden said from the Oval Office. But Biden has the power to reopen sign-ups, which will allow the uninsured to select policies under a special enrollment period. Biden's order will call on the Department of Health and Human Services to reopen enrollment on healthcare.gov, which serves 36 states, to those who need coverage from Feb. 15 until May 15. "As we continue to battle Covid-19, it's even more critical that Americans have meaningful access to health care," Biden said.
