President Joe Biden is taking steps meant to expand the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare.

Alongside the government health plan’s chief architect, former President Barack Obama, at the White House Tuesday, Biden announced plans to fix the “family glitch” in the ACA and signed an executive order that will “protect and strengthen Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act.”
