Biden signs orders undoing 'damage Trump has done'

President Joe Biden is taking his first steps to reverse Trump administration health care policies. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Biden said he was signing two executive orders to undo the damage Trump has done to health care. on Thursday, Biden signed directives on a range of issues including getting more Americans covered under health insurance.

Biden wants to remove work requirements for low-income people getting Medicaid. The most concrete short-term impact will come from reopening HealthCare.gov insurance markets as coverage has shrunk amid economic turmoil due to the coronavirus pandemic. A special sign-up period for coverage will run Feb. 15 through May 15. Biden also is directing health officials to think about canceling a Trump rule that blocked federally funded family planning clinics from referring women for abortions.
