The Health 202: Healthcare.gov will now be open during tax season Paige Winfield Cunningham Aligning Obamacare enrollment with tax season would be a no-brainer, tax experts have long argued. Now it’s actually happening, with President Biden’s order yesterday to reopen the federal health-care marketplace from Feb. 15 through May 15. “President Biden signed an executive order Thursday to reopen the Affordable Care Act’s federal insurance marketplaces for three months to give Americans who need coverage during the coronavirus pandemic an extended chance to buy health plans,” our colleague Amy Goldstein reports. “The action represents the first step the new administration is taking to fulfill a major part of the president’s campaign agenda to make health insurance and health care more accessible and affordable — goals that have taken on more urgency as 25 million have been infected with the coronavirus and millions of others have lost jobs,” Amy adds.
