New enrollments under the Affordable Care Act are significantly lower this year, with just over 730,000 enrollees compared to 1.5 million last year, amidst uncertainty following Trump's election.
The Biden administration's policies aimed at reducing fraudulent enrollment are contributing to the declining numbers, while legal battles regarding policy directives for Dreamers further complicate the situation.
A recent decision by a federal judge to block the enrollment of Dreamers under the ACA in 19 states has raised further concerns about access to coverage for vulnerable populations.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services extended the enrollment deadline to December 18 in an effort to provide consumers more time to sign up for health coverage.
