Joe Biden is opening up a Special Enrollment Period for the ACA marketplaces. Here's a🧵on why this a BFD! 1/ whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
2/ Trump took many steps to sabotage the ACA and its marketplaces. He severely restricted the Open Enrollment period to just 6 weeks and then cut the outreach and advertising budget by 90%. Awareness of dates, deadlines, and options is already low, so this was a big problem.
3/ Last Spring, everyone - including the insurance companies - was urging Trump to open a Special Enrollment Period because otherwise, uninsured people who simply wanted insurance in the middle of the pandemic or people who didn't have employer coverage before couldn't sign up.

🧵1/ In less than a month and just one week after the election, the SCOTUS will take up the health care repeal lawsuit. Senate Republicans are doing everything they can to dismiss, downplay, or run away from the consequences of this GOP lawsuit. So let's have some real talk.
2/ The legal theory underpinning the health care repeal lawsuit is completely bogus and it *should* have been laughed out of court. Even conservative legal scholars agree on this. But that's not what happened because the GOP has stacked the federal courts with right-wing judges.
3/ First, the GOP's go-to judge in Texas, Judge O'Connor, declared the entire ACA unconstitutional and invalid nationwide. You'll notice one familiar name on the original lawsuit: Senate Judiciary Committee member Josh Hawley!

The most important thing to know about what Chad Wolf is doing is that every single one of his official acts is invalid because he was unlawfully installed as Acting Secretary of DHS. Let me explain. 1/
Kirstjen Nielsen seriously messed up and amended the wrong section of the DHS succession order, as was her pregorative, when she quit and installed McAleenan, who in turn amended it again to install Wolf out of order. H/T @ReichlinMelnick 2/
Separetely, both Wolf and McAleenan appear to have exceeded the limit for an acting official’s service under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act. More on that here. 3/ washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…

1/ THREAD: We are expecting key filings today from the Trump administration, as well as Texas and its coalition of hater states, calling on the Supreme Court to obliterate the Affordable Care Act in its entirety. Here is what that means.
2/ If Trump gets his way and "terminates" the entire ACA, a new @amprog report out yesterday found that 23 MILLION people will lose their coverage. This is up from 20 million before the pandemic b/c people have shifted from employer coverage to ACA plans or expanded Medicaid.
3/ That report also looked at state-by-state coverage losses. The numbers are eye-popping and extremely distressing as infections soar in many states. americanprogress.org/issues/healthc…
