White House mulling reopening of Obamacare enrollment: reports
By Marina Pitofsky - 03/21/20 08:56 PM EDT Trump administration officials are considering opening an enrollment period for health care coverage under Obamacare amid the coronavirus pandemic, a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) spokesperson confirmed to Politico.
Multiple states that operate their own health insurance marketplaces have reopened enrollment, which would allow state residents without health insurance to purchase coverage during the outbreak. However, most states use the marketplace run by the federal government, according to Politico.
The Wall Street Journal first reported the possible move from the Trump administration.
