This pandemic has shown all of us how important it is to ensure access to health care as a matter of right and not of privilege.

That’s why I’m pleased that President Biden is taking action today that strengthens Medicaid and initiates a new open enrollment period under the Affordable Care Act. After four years of moving in the wrong direction, we once again have a President who is working to expand health care coverage for all of us.
