Biden plans to reopen Obamacare enrollment - CNN

Biden is also expected to sign measures strengthening Medicaid, as well as rescinding the Mexico City Policy on abortion and review the Title X abortion referral restrictions.

Augmenting the Affordable Care Act

Increasing the number of insured Americans by strengthening the Affordable Care Act was at the heart of Biden's health care campaign promises.

Many health care moves expected

Thursday's measures will likely be the first of many efforts to bolster the Affordable Care Act and roll back Trump administration health care actions.

Among Biden's top priorities will likely be saving the law itself from being declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services went a step further in recent weeks, establishing a pathway for all states to do this for 2023.

Biden's health care officials are also expected to focus on Medicaid.

The Trump administration made many historic changes to the health insurance program for low-income Americans, in line with Republicans' long-standing wish list.

Officials allowed states to introduce work requirements and just approved Tennessee's request to shift its federal Medicaid funding to a type of block grant.

The Supreme Court recently agreed to consider the approval of work requirements in Arkansas and New Hampshire, which were voided by lower courts.

These measures run counter to Biden's promise to expand access to Medicaid so his administration is expected to seek to limit or undo these waivers during his term, as well as possibly restore the criteria on waivers' impact on increasing coverage.

Also, Congress has limited states' ability to trim their Medicaid rolls during the public health emergency.
