The Trump administration is shortening ObamaCare’s annual open enrollment period and ending the law's coverage of immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally as children, according to a final rule announced Friday.

The Biden administration made it easier and more affordable to sign up for Affordable Care Act plans, causing enrollment to swell to an all-time high. The Trump administration claims those moves opened a wave of fraudulent enrollment that’s costing taxpayers billions of dollars.

According to the rule, the federal open enrollment period will run from Nov. 1 through Dec. 31. Currently, federal open enrollment ends Jan. 15.
