By News Channel NebraskaLINCOLN – A group of Nebraska state senators are calling on the Nebraska Congressional delegation to work with the Trump Administration to re-open the Affordable Care Act enrollment period in response to the ongoing coronavirus healthcare crisis.
The state senators sent a letter to the delegation saying Nebraskans need immediate help.
Letter: “We are facing a record surge in unemployment. The administration must re-open the Affordable Care Act enrollment period to ensure that everyone who needs it has access to health insurance.”
