President Joe Biden is reopening enrollment on the federal Affordable Care Act exchanges as part of two health care executive actions that he signed Thursday, taking a step to help uninsured Americans that former President Donald Trump rejected.
It's Biden's first move toward delivering on his campaign promise to bolster the landmark health reform law that he championed as vice president. And it comes as more Americans could be facing the loss of coverage because of the pandemic-fueled economic downturn.
"Today, I'm about to sign two executive orders that basically, the best way to describe them, to undo the damage Trump has done," Biden said. "There's nothing new that we are doing here other than restoring the Affordable Care Act and restoring Medicaid to the way it was before Trump became president."
Open enrollment on the federal exchanges, which the Trump administration cut in half to six weeks, ended on December 15. 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 calls on the Department of Health and Human Services to reopen enrollment on healthcare.gov, which serves 36 states, to those who need coverage from February 15 until May 15. The agency is expected to do so on Thursday, according to a White House official.
"As we continue to battle Covid-19, it's even more critical that Americans have meaningful access to health care," Biden said.

Biden: Health care orders undo the damage Trump has done
So how about those Epipen prices? 🤣
@smelldirt Lmao please, cry me a river.
@BiShockzz Hate the truth huh. Keep up Sweetie 😘
Biden Update….
2pm yesterday marked Biden’s 50th hour in office. Let’s take a look at the Biden/Harris administration —
– A loss of 52,100 jobs in oil.
– Ended energy independence for the United States.
– Canada and Texas are suing Biden.
– Antifa (just an idea right), continue to riot and burn down Portland and Seattle.
– Sent our troops that were in DC to sleep on the floor of a parking garage, in freezing temps, with cars parked there 🙄 and one bathroom. But the WH made them cookies 🍪
– Created a new glass ceiling for girls to hurdle, ruining so many chances for scholarships with his “progressive” transgender programs allowing boys to compete against girls.
– Created a new federal property mask mandate, which he broke countless times already.
– Is now allowing illegal immigrants to be counted for representation in congress.
– A complete halt on student loan forgiveness that he promised.
– A complete halt on the $2000 stimulus program he promised.
– He shot down a Trump admin order to lower the cost of insulin.
– He shot down a Trump admin order to lower the cost of epinephrine.
– Rescinds Trump order banning Chinese Communist involvement in US power grid
– $1.6 billion in gross wages lost.
And JUST TODAY – 8 Chinese bombers, 4 fighters, and 1 sub-hunter just breached Taiwan’s Air Defense Identification Zone, crossing the Taiwan Strait.
Gas is up 50 cents a gallon here since election day based on speculation. $1.89 here at most gas stations on election day. Now $2.39.
Everything they’ve done in THREE DAYS has benefitted other countries and hurt Americans.
But HEY, at least Biden hasn’t tweeted mean words. And, we have a woman Vice President. 🤷
@smelldirt @smelldirt You sound like a creep calling me sweetie. You haven’t said anything alluding to truth whatsoever. You’re going through this thread and attacking everyone you disagree with by calling them names. Some child you are.
My mother is not having any job
“I want to do something for my mother
“But youtube is not giving me views “Phearith i am worse than others..
😭
Yes, because undoing trumps lowering of insulin costs which diabetics like my grandfather needs to survive is “undoing damage.”
Joe, I think the people are waking up 😐
My mother is not having any job

@Prophet seven and that doesnt answer my question. I ask again where u get your facts from if not from news
@Child of God Talk about growing up. If you’re trying to make a point, then make it and make it clear. Work on articulating what you mean.
Dumb Trumpie
Sanitize the pen & the book!
Can you sanitize your brain, or would that completely eliminate it?
He’s been coughing a lot lately hopefully it ain’t the first evolution stage before the reptilian form
it amazes me that people actually believe this.
@Atanas Tripzter they trap germs your body wants to get rid of. You are recycling the germs and get staph, bacterial pneumonia and other goodies. In fact during the Spanish Flu most died bc of the masks not bc if the virus. Chek it out. Also masks prevent oxygen to get to your brain with devastating consequences. Everybody just got dumber by wearing them. Yay. Now the ‘ scientist’ Fraudci telles us to wear 2 masks. Why don’t we just stop breathing all together. Geee
Get over it.
@Cristina Buta Simon
My Goodness. Fine I’ll play ball with your reasoning.
1. You said that with masks it recycles the germs that the body is trying to remove. Germs and viruses aren’t removed that way, the purpose of masks is to prevent the spread of the disease and reduce infection rates.
2. The Spanish Flu, you said it was the masks that caused the deaths more than the virus itself. There are two uses for masks either on the white or blue side that can either prevent the spread of the virus by the carrier or stops you from getting infected.
@5.0 stang gang Another Election Fraud Denier.
@Apocalypzzxxx TheEnd why don’t you contact the mask provider and ask them what they are prepared to do if you contract Covid while wearing one?
“damage trump has done.”
*proceeds to erase thousands of jobs.
@Guilty Spark wtf does Obama buying a mansion have to do with climate change
@Guilty Spark- funny, I have been hearing that same argument for years. However, taxes on the mega rich have been dropping for decades! Do you see the middle and lower class getting any better? No. The rich hoard the majority of the wealth in this country. So , yeah, they deserve to be taxed more and pay their fair share. Everyone , even the rich, need to pay taxes. No more tax breaks. I’m all for the working man. I have worked blue collar jobs for many years. But the idea of trickle down economics doesn’t work. Also, all he did was kick the can down the road. The national debt has skyrocketed under Trump. How do you plan to pay down the debt when you keep lowering taxes on the mega rich? He gave trillions to businesses , in which they don’t have to pay back! Obama bailed out companies on the premise of them paying back on their loans with interest. Trump never had a plan, cannot lead to save to save his life, and just blames everyone else for the problems instead of taking responsibility by fixing them himself. The Republican Party has been giving you guys the same spiel and you guys have been gobbling it up
@James Richard No thank you
@James Richard did you seriously copy & paste that from the young turks? The trump tax cuts went to the entire country, the top 1% pay 90% of the taxes in the entire country. Do you know what a bell curve is? IRS.gov tell me what you read about the growth of the middle class over the past three years. Go ahead i will wait. Of course you wont do actual research or reading. You will just parrot communist propaganda just like you are doing
@James Richard if a mask actually protected anyone and I mean anyone I would wear it I’ve done countless hours of research and it’s scientifically proven the mask does not stop because spread. It’s not a small convenience. Wearing the “mask” infringement of our civil liberties and freedoms. I wish you would understand that.
Lol buckle up people we have a rough ride CNN lol
You got a child out here that can’t get his insulin because you are destroying the health care system. $1000 for a box when it only costed $75. When was there an uprising about healthcare when trump was in office?
Seriously, YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE “Trump care” which. NEVER EXISTED is going to be undone to care for your child compared to ACTUAL REAL healthcare initiatives under Biden???? Just curious, HOW did Trump care change your child’s situation??? Not at all bc HE just used the EXACT same process as Obama Care aka ACA and did absolutely zero changes to what was already working??? Trump changed it just enough to raise your deductibles and got kick backs for the extra costs of your child’s insulin and other expenses for their care….yep, YOU GOT THE SHAFT
Trump made money from insurance companies charging YOU DOUBLE OR TRIPLE for your child’s insulin, test strips, medication AND FOLLOW UP DOCTOR VISITS and then laughed about it with his Senators and Congress members who also benefited from YOUR COPAYMENTS AND DEDUCTIBLES for YOUR CHILD’S medical care!!! Yes, THAT IS THE PEOPLE YOU VOTED FOR…You are just a grift victim among so many Americans that have died and THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR CHILDREN
Where’s my check, Joe?
Its only been like a week
@Sponge HUB He had time for 40 other executive orders
@Jon Dowe You’re correct, they would never promise something like that. But they’re the ones blocking it.
@Lydia Ferrer Trump no longer in office, so we’re asking Biden. So where is it?
Hunter spent your check on crack and hookers.
Universal health care now. C’mon, man!
And open boarders.
@Brian you are suicidal

@Jay Z you are very intelligent i would like to see a biden supporter react to your comment😅
Wow can you undo the damage Obama did? When insurance went from $200 a month to $1400 insurance in just one year.
Rest in peace CNN. You had your 15 minutes of fame. Where should I send the daisies
Did Biden add the 10% for the big guy?
@Razer Gaming Yes, respect the fake president.
@Cal Ellis what’s so fake about him lmao y’all are really dumb to think that a president who never polled above 45% had a chance at re election
@Razer Gaming your president isnt wearing a mask lol he broke his own rule 😂
@Rea Rene read the rule he said there’s exceptions bruh
10% for the Commander In Thief
The “damage” you mean the Healthcare tax i have to pay and still don’t get to use.
Fortunately, I never had to sign up for the ACA healthcare because of the plan I get through my job. But everyone I knew that did hated it.
It makes sense for everyone to pay a tax if you don’t get covered because it helps with random expenses. Also you pay ssi and other taxes without being asked so what’s the issue for health
Imagine complaining about taxes every country pays
I can’t afford healthcare nor am I paying for the penalty for not having the money to do so.
@Kathleen McFarland yes! Exactly. There was a study that asked a bunch of people if they thought Obamacare was good, they said it was awful, then when asked what it meant NOBODY knew! 🤦♀️
@Johnny NoCare Yes With oil….Democrats offer none
@MIKE BARAN Hey man, did you know that they discovered a Clean Coal mine? Clean coal burns into oxygen, it’s really a cool, I’m really impressed that trump actually discovered it.
@Johnny NoCare Ir A Bot
come on man !!!! it’s called affordable !!!!
Imagine if CNN held the same energy with Biden that they had with Trump. Like,, why increase the cost of Insulin and Epipen in the middle of a pandemic,,
And why bring back Obama care when folks couldn’t afford it and were getting fined for not being able to afford it?
All CNN cares about is “orange man bad, Democrat good”
The orange man is bad and incredibly dumb, yet not nearly as dumb as his supporters. The real pandemic is stupidity of the far right supporters.
Ugh it’s so gross how he’s always coughing …
That’s what you got out of the executive orders that was signed?!?!?
Wow, a lot of negative comments. Love it. If I knew this I would have been in here to read them a long time ago. Unsubscribe people. Let’s get CNN out of here. They are worthless anyway.
This guy looks lost. Come on man.
