‘The height of callousness and irresponsibility’
Apr 1, 2020 22:55:49 #
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) — which the Trump administration is currently trying to eliminate— allows certain people to enroll in the health care marketplace when there have been major life events, such losing your job and therefore losing insurance. Known as a special enrollment period (SEP), it usually lasts for 60 days after a “qualifying event.” Trump wants to end it.
“This decision is the height of callousness and irresponsibility,” Sen Booker in a statement. “We’re in the midst of a global p******c and people need health care coverage, yet the president is denying people access to it.”
For those who have experienced a qualifying event, they automatically are able to enroll in coverage. But for individuals who have been uninsured and now want health coverage, they can only obtain it through open enrollment.
“The Affordable Care Act was created for this very purpose — so that individuals without health insurance could get affordable, quality coverage,” Booker said. “At a time when our health care system is already under enormous strain, it makes no sense to willingly allow even more individuals to go without coverage.”
Booker represents New Jersey, one of 38 states with a federally-run Obamacare marketplace. That means in order for a special enrollment period to be created, it must be done at the discretion of the president.
Out of the 12 states (and D.C.) that have their own marketplaces through the ACA — California, Colorado, Connecticut, D.C., Idaho, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington — 11 of them have created their own special enrollment periods in response to the c****av***s, although most of these SEPs end during the month of April.
Remember that it is was Democrats that always believed and acted in your best interests during this p******c crisis.
