The Biden administration says 20 million people have enrolled for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act marketplaces, with still a few days left for signing up

Some 20 million people have signed up for health insurance this year through the Affordable Care Act marketplaces, a record-breaking figure.

President Joe Biden will likely proclaim those results regularly on the campaign trail for months to come as former President Donald Trump, the Republican front-runner, vows to dismantle the Obama-era program.

The Biden administration announced Wednesday morning that 20 million have enrolled for coverage on the marketplace, days before the open enrollment period is set to close on Jan. 16.

The latest enrollment projections mean a quarter more Americans have signed up for coverage this year compared to last — another record-breaking year when 16.3 million enrolled in the program. Signs-ups spiked after Biden took office, with Democrats rolling out a series of tax breaks that give millions of Americans access to low cost plans, some with zero-dollar premiums.

      What? It’s fucking amazing. With most social media it’s usually read headline or read the whole article. With lemmy i can be interested by the headline and get as much or as little more information as I want.

      The headline is usually clickbait. The mini summary is usually enough to know what the article is about. The mid summary let’s me see the overall arguments. The aibot long summary comment usually gets 80% of the info in 20% the word count. Only if it’s something I’m really interested in or I want to discuss in the comments do I read the whole article.

      This structure also encourages people who rage out at headlines to get more informed before participating in conversation which is really nice to see.
