Open up special Health Insurance enrollment due to COVID-19

While there have been many great steps taken to afford those with health insurance support during this outbreak by the President, Congress, state governments and the Health Insurance industry in the form of reduced or no copay on COVID-19 testing and care, there have been no such provisions made for those without health insurance. This is important because it will leave millions of uninsured people to foot a bill of an untold amount in a time that they are likely to be out of work should they contract COVID-19, which will inevitably result in people being forced to make the decision to get medical care or to go without. This could end up resulting in even an wider spread of COVID-19 as people who cannot afford medical help go un-diagnosed and untreated.

Such an action would speak volumes to the commitment to the health of not only the currently insured but also the uninsured people of the country. Please open up a special enrollment for health insurance in this trying time, people should be able to get covered immediately without having to wait until November. Should this happen it would not only be of benefit to the uninsured, but to all Americans.

Please tell the leaders of the nation, and health insurance companies to open up enrollment for health insurance so that all might get treatment during this outbreak.
