Biden ACA proposal reverses Trump waiver of HealthCare.gov

An HHS proposed rule released Monday would do away with a Trump-era policy allowing states to bypass HealthCare.gov when seeking enrollees for Obamacare plans. The Department of Health and Human Services is also proposing to extend the annual regular open enrollment period for Affordable Care Act plans by an additional month, from Nov. 1 to Jan. 15 as compared with the current end date of Dec. 15. The new proposed rule (RIN 0938-AU60) supplements the regular annual rule setting parameters for Affordable Care Act plans. The CMS finalized payment parameters for 2022 ACA plans in April.
