Democrats on the House Oversight committee are pressing the Biden administration to go further to ensure that patients have easier access to more free contraception.
An analysis released Friday from ranking member Rep. Jamie Raskin’s (D-Md.) staff is the latest instance of Democrats in the House and Senate urging the White House to change agency guidance so more types of birth control are more easily accessible.
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), contr...

North Carolina Medicaid expansion makes nearly 600K now eligible for coverage
Hundreds of thousands of people in North Carolina are eligible for Medicaid benefits beginning Friday, almost a decade after ObamaCare let states expand eligibility.
Advocates say North Carolina's expansion will give much-needed aid to adults who previously earned too much to be eligible for Medicaid but not enough to benefit from federal subsidies to help them afford private health insurance.
Medicaid coverage includes doctor visits, check-ups, eme...
Biden campaign hits Trump on Medicaid as North Carolina implements expansion
The Biden campaign seized on the expansion of Medicaid coverage in North Carolina on Friday to blast former President Trump over his renewed vow to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, potentially threatening health care coverage for millions of Americans.
“Elections have consequences and today, because the people of North Carolina elected Governor Roy Cooper, 600,000 North Carolinians will be eligible for coverage under Medicaid,” Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez ...

Biden campaign gets much-needed jolt amid Trump’s ObamaCare threats
President Biden’s campaign was given a much-needed shot in the arm this week from former President Trump’s repeated threats against ObamaCare.
Trump handed Democrats a gift when he suddenly revived threats to replace the 13-year-old Affordable Care Act if elected president, giving the Biden campaign a week’s worth of material as it shifts to attack the GOP front-runner directly.
When Trump posted on his social media platform that he was “seriously looking...

Trump stresses he wants to replace ObamaCare, not ‘terminate’ it
Former President Trump emphasized late Tuesday night that he wants to replace the Affordable Care Act — more commonly known as "ObamaCare" — rather than eliminate it entirely.
“Getting much better Healthcare than Obamacare for the American people will be a priority of the Trump Administration. It is not a matter of cost, it is a matter of HEALTH," he wrote on Truth Social. "America will have one of the best Healthcare Plans anywhere in the world. Right now it has one of the W...
Biden campaign: Trump’s vendetta against ObamaCare a threat to millions with preexisting conditions
The Biden campaign on Tuesday seized on former President Trump’s assertion that he was “seriously looking at alternatives” to the Affordable Care Act, warning a second Trump presidency could harm millions of Americans with preexisting conditions.
President Biden's reelection team, in a memo first shared with The Hill, cautioned that repealing ObamaCare would strip protections from up to 135 million Americans with preexisting conditions. The 2010 law barred health insurance com...
