Yesterday, I joined Speaker Sara Gideon, Maine Senate Democrats and Maine House Democrats on a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar calling for a special enrollment period in the ACA marketplace during the COVID-19 pandemic. From where I stand, we’ll need to exhaust every possible option to get through this public health crisis.
➡️ By allowing Mainers to get health insurance during this crisis, we can increase the number of people who feel comfortable calling their doctor if they develop symptoms so they can get tested and self-quarantine to reduce the spread of this virus.
➡️ It will also allow more Mainers to get the preventive care they need and avoid ending up in our already overwhelmed hospitals.
It’s a simple move that can have major results, which is why my colleagues and I are calling on Secretary Azar to take quick and decisive action.
