Former President Barack Obama will join President Joe Biden at the White House on Tuesday to mark the 12th anniversary of Obama’s signature health care law, as the Biden administration announces new steps to expand coverage.
Biden plans to issue an executive order to increase health insurance coverage and the Treasury Department will roll out a proposed rule to close the so-called family glitch, a long-sought move that could lower health insurance costs for up to 5 million Americans.
The Treasury’s proposed rule would address a policy loophole in the 2010 health care law that measures affordability only for an employee in an employer-sponsored plan rather than for the employee’s entire family.
