President Joe Biden enacted a special enrollment period from Feb. 15 to May 15 to allow Americans to buy ACA health plans outside the typical year-end window. 

In the first two weeks, more than 200,000 Americans signed up for insurance on the marketplace.

While the administration is considering extending the deadline past May, the person who spoke to Bloomberg on the condition of anonymity said a decision won’t come until closer to May 15.
