As the administration backs a court fight to kill the Affordable Care Act, officials suddenly realize Americans need health insurance now.
At least nine states that run their own health insurance exchanges haveBut most states depend on the insurance marketplace run by the federal government. Open enrollment for states that use the federal exchange ended on Dec. 15. But a spokeswoman for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services , which runs the Trump administration insurance marketplace,“CMS is evaluating offering a Special Enrollment Period,” she told the Journal.
About 30 million people are currently uninsured, and that number is likely to grow significantly as businesses shut down.

It also encouraged a “one-time special enrollment period for the individual market — regardless of an individual’s current health status or whether they have coverage today.”
The letter added: “Given the risk posed by COVID-19, it is more important than ever for people to have health coverage. This will give people the opportunity to get the security and peace of mind that health care coverage provides.”
