As COVID-19 cases surge again in Oklahoma, there is some
positive news on the state’s health care front.
The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
announced recently that nearly 34,500 Oklahoma residents have gained health
insurance through the Affordable Care Act exchange, commonly known as
Obamacare.
That preliminary enrollment figure for Feb. 15 to July 15 is
more than double what Oklahoma has seen in recent years.
The reason for the spike: President Joe Biden signed an
executive order earlier this year to allow people to sign up or change their
plans outside of the normal open enrollment that runs from November to
mid-December.
