Article

Preserving and expanding health insurance coverage for Americans has been a salient goal of the Biden administration. Through legislative and executive initiatives, it has succeeded in bolstering federal programs directed toward this goal. But this success may be short lived. A health insurance cliff looms that threatens to erode coverage gains achieved during Biden’s first two years. As 2022 ebbs, it remains an open question whether the Biden administration will maneuver around this cliff or plummet over it.
The cliff partly emanates from time limits attached to Biden’s efforts to reinvigorate and expand the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) health insurance exchanges.
The Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) exchanges, or marketplaces, allow individuals to buy coverage from participating insurance companies.
The rescue plan law and Biden’s executive initiatives (e.g., greatly expanded sign-up periods) kindled a surge in exchange enrollments, which reversed four years of declines during the Trump presidency.
Yearly Increase
- Year:- 2021
  - Sign-ups for exchange insurance for 2021 rose to over 12 million, a five percent increase over the preceding year.
- Year:- 2022
  - Increases continued in 2022 with more than 14.5 million enrolling.
- Year:- 2023 And Out
  - But the clock is ticking on this enrollment progress since the American Rescue Plan subsidies apply only to 2021 and 2022.
  - The Congressional Budget Office estimates that failure to renew the subsidies will lead exchange sign-ups to decline by three million, reducing enrollments to what they were the last year of the Trump administration.
Congressional Support
- Democrats
  - Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kristen Sinema of Arizona
    - Joe Manchin of West Virginia
      - The legislation has some chance of winning Sen. Manchin’s support since his opposition to the original bill ( Build Back Better legislation ) did not stem from its health care provisions.
      - Still, Manchin has indicated that his backing of any such measure rests on whether it also includes tax reforms and does not add to the federal deficit. Prospects for legislation extending the exchange subsidies are, therefore, uncertain at best.

Ethnic Groups

Arab Americans

Here is the subject area on Arab Americans.

Muslim Travel and Refugee Bans

Pledged to rescind the Muslim travel and refugee bans.

Instruct Department of Homeland Security To Review “Watch List” and “No-Fly List”

Instruct the Department of Homeland Security to undertake a review of “watchlist” and “no-fly list” processes to ensure that they do not have an adverse impact on individuals or groups based on national origin, race, religion or ethnicity.

And, improve the process to remove names, when justified, from these lists.

Immigration

Refugees

Currently the world has over 80 million displayed people.

During his presidency, candidate Biden pledged to raise the maximum number of refugees admitted each year to over 125,000 ( 1/8th of a million ).

Candidate Biden also pledged to work with congress to put into law minimum target of 90,000 ( 1/10th of a million ) people each year.

Rules

Public Charge Rule

Rollback the expansion of criteria that was weighed when considering whether an immigration benefits applicant is considered a public charge.

First established by congress in 1882, the public charge concept allows the US Government to deny a U.S. visa to anyone who is likely at any time to become a public charge.
