WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) and Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) sent a letter with a group of senators calling on President Donald Trump to reopen the Affordable Care Act’s marketplace to allow more people to enroll in health insurance and access federal subsidies, and to take steps to ensure seniors can enroll in Medicare coverage as they disproportionately face potential health issues related to COVID-19.

In the letter, the senators requested Trump authorize an ACA Special Enrollment Period, or SEP, which would allow those who did not sign up for insurance during the regular enrollment period a window to obtain comprehensive health insurance.
