President Biden and Congress are working on a legislative package to expand access to affordable health care, to be included in the upcoming reconciliation bills.
As we continue to struggle amid a global pandemic, the need for historic health care reform has been magnified. Further, we now have the numbers in Congress, and the political will, to expand upon the Affordable Care Act.
The package will currently include making the temporary expansion of the Obamacare health insurance subsidies that were included in the American Rescue Plan permanent, and extending health coverage for up to 4 million low-income families who are locked out of care in states that rejected Medicaid expansion.
This is a good start, but it is possible for Congress to go even bigger. Enacting substantive health care reform that delivers results is essential. We must demand Congress act to install historic health care reforms.
Thanks for all you do,
Erin Tulley, Daily Kos.
