REUTERS\/Kevin Lamarque<\/figcaption><p>WASHINGTON (Reuters) &#8211; U.S. President Joe Biden will reopen the nation\u2019s online health insurance marketplace for people who cannot obtain coverage through their employers, the White House said on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Biden, who took office last week, will restore access to healthcare.gov with an executive order on Thursday afternoon, the latest in a blizzard of moves by the Democratic president to quickly reverse the policies of his Republican predecessor Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>The order will allow people to sign up for insurance through the government exchange from Feb. 15 to May 15, the White House said in a policy fact sheet. The program is normally accessible for just six weeks a year.<\/p>\n<p>The action was expected. Biden has vowed to shore up the healthcare.gov and other programs created under former President Barack Obama\u2019s sweeping 2010 Affordable Care Act.<\/p>\n<p>He has argued that the changes are more urgent because of the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed more than 400,000 Americans.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have long opposed the healthcare restructuring law, criticizing the cost and quality of care as well as extensive government involvement in healthcare markets.<\/p>\n<p>Biden also plans to direct federal agencies to \u201cre-examine\u201d Trump-era policies like work requirements that made it more difficult for people to qualify for Medicaid, the government-run health insurance program for the poor.<\/p>\n<p>In another action, Biden will rescind the \u201cMexico City Policy\u201d that bans U.S. funding for international non-profit organizations that provide abortion counseling.<\/p>\n<p>Biden is set to sign the executive actions around 1:30 p.m. ET (1830 GMT).<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-health-coronavirus-usa-insurance\/biden-to-reopen-online-health-insurance-marketplaces-idUSKBN29X1AN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE PHOTO: U.S. President Joe Biden speaks about administration plans to strengthen American manufacturing during a brief appearance in the South Court Auditorium at the [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":105695,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
