"Obamacare Enrollment Surges to Record-Breaking 20 Million"
A record-breaking 20 million people have signed up for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act marketplaces, with President Biden touting the achievement as a result of Democratic efforts to expand access. The surge in sign-ups follows the implementation of tax breaks and increased outreach efforts, but some new enrollees have been forced to seek coverage through the marketplace after being removed from Medicaid. President Trump, a vocal critic of the Affordable Care Act, has pledged to dismantle the program if elected, while open enrollment for ACA plans ends on Jan. 16 and those removed from Medicaid may be eligible to enroll through July.
