President Joe Biden announced on May 11 that 1 million people have signed up for health coverage after his administration launched a special sign-up window under Obamacare provisions.
Biden signed an executive order in January that expanded access to the Affordable Care Act, including creating a special enrollment period for HealthCare.gov, a federal marketplace for private health insurance plans that allows people to see if they qualify for tax credits for private insurance or sign up for programs such as Medicaid. The special enrollment window was opened on Feb. 15 and is set to last until Aug. 15.
