Rather than embracing full-on Medicare for All—a universal health care system popularly touted by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders—Biden is offering a blueprint for creating a public health insurance option that his campaign says will insure an estimated 97 percent of Americans, without eliminating private insurance.
The Biden administration still can, and has, taken steps to expand health coverage. An additional 4 million people qualify for ACA subsidies since Biden signed the American Rescue Plan into law. Nearly 1 million people have signed up for insurance during a special open enrollment period Biden started shortly after taking office.
