拜登如何在上任100天内扩大医保覆盖面
保罗·谢弗（保罗·沙佛）和妮可·休伯菲尔德（妮可Huberfeld）的一篇新评论称，不管有没有国会，新政府都有办法在当前危机及以后迅速提高保险覆盖面。
On January 20, Joe Biden will be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States in the midst of the unprecedented COVID-19 crisis. 虽然民主党也将控制国会，但激烈的分歧和参议院微弱的多数可能会对拜登的议程构成挑战。
However, the next administration does have tools at its disposal to improve healthcare access in the first 100 days of Biden’s presidency, according to a new commentary by two 公共卫生学院 researchers 发表在 美国医学会健康论坛.
“Even with a legislative logjam, the incoming administration can act swiftly to address the health and economic crises facing the nation,” write 保罗·沙佛, assistant professor of 卫生法律、政策与管理, and 妮可Huberfeld, professor of health law, ethics & human rights.
“这些行政法案可以开始重建一个更普遍、更容易获得的医疗体系。”
谢弗和休伯菲尔德概述了拜登可以立即采取澳门威尼斯人注册行动的三个关键领域。
Donald Trump used many different tools to undermine the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and, although Shafer and Huberfeld write that t在这里 is much rebuilding to do, the new administration will be able to reverse many executive acts to help the growing number of unemployed Americans sign up for coverage, including 恢复对市场广告的资助.
拜登还可以加强医疗补助计划，撤销特朗普旨在削弱该计划的政策，包括两个州即将采取的一揽子拨款。 The new administration can also reject new waiver applications from states seeking to implement 医疗补助的工作要求, or lockouts for failure to pay out-of-pocket costs. 而且，谢弗和休伯菲尔德写道，拜登应该重新执行奥巴马时代的指导方针，指示各州不能从计划生育中扣留医疗补助资金。
谢弗和休伯菲尔德写道，第三个“容易的选择”是重新审视特朗普政府对第1557条规则的重新解释，该规则削弱了《平价医疗法案》对患者歧视的保护。
他们写道：“鉴于这场前所未有的危机，拜登总统选择立即采取的立法优先事项将具有不同寻常的重要性。” “鉴于（感染COVID-19）风险较高的人群在过去四年中遭受的沉重打击，新政府必须迅速采取澳门威尼斯人注册行动。”
