Mayors sue over Trump’s efforts to restrict Obamacare signups

Democratic mayors challenge new rules that give millions of people less time to enroll in coverage

New Trump administration rules that give millions of people a shorter timeframe to sign up for the Affordable Care Act's health care coverage are facing a legal challenge from Democratic mayors around the country.

The rules, rolled out last month, reverse a Biden-era effort to expand access to the Affordable Care Act's health insurance, commonly called Obamacare" or the ACA. The previous Democratic administration expanded the enrollment window for the coverage, which led to record enrollment.
