Experts noted that while former President Donald Trump tried to gut Obamacare, President Joe Biden has been a cheerleader for the health insurance law.
That tally represents an increase of well more than 20% in sign-ups for the same period last year.
"As far as I'm concerned, it's a very big deal," Gaba said."You have millions more people who have coverage, and a good 10 million or so that have it much more affordable for them." Trump had pushed early in his term in office for the then-Republican-led Congress to repeal the Affordable Care Act, as Obamacare is formally known.
Levit also said that although Obamacare was"weakened" under Trump, Biden nonetheless had a"platform to build on it" due to the millions of people who had continued signing up for health coverage through the program. Biden wasn't just touting the program. His administration worked to make it more financially attractive to would-be enrollees.
