Obamacare sign-ups begin as millions more are uninsured

Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation hearing gets underway with talk of Obamacare, abortion rights and COVID-19.Trump has been promising a much better replacement since before taking office, but never came out with his plan. The justices are scheduled to hear the case Nov. 10, and the administration is doing little to promote sign-ups, having previously slashed the program’s ad budget.

Hard numbers on how coronavirus-related job losses have affected health coverage are not available because the most reliable government surveys will not be out until next year. Estimates range from 5 million to 10 million newly uninsured people. That’s on top of 26 million uninsured last year, before the pandemic, or about 8% of the U.S. population.“There is a coverage crisis happening,” said Stan Dorn, a health policy expert now with Families USA, a liberal advocacy group.

Administration officials say HealthCare.gov is open for business and ready to handle sign-ups online or via its call center. “We’ll be working through the upcoming open enrollment period... to ensure a smooth user experience,” Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Seema Verma said.

Those who are healthy most likely have other priorities, such as finding another job. Workers who were furloughed, but not laid off, may have been able to keep their coverage. Some appear to have switched to a spouse’s plan, and those age 65 and older can get on Medicare.

In three days, you’ll be talking about how great Trump has been for ACA markets and highlighting the new benefits.
