Biden executive order did not establish free health insurance
Facebook posts advertise a “relief package” that supposedly offers free health insurance to all Americans earning less than $50,000 annually, citing a January 2021 executive order from US President Joe Biden. This is false; the provision urges states to make federal programs more accessible, but experts say it does not provide for no-cost insurance.
“President Biden signed Executive Order 14009 making Health Insurance Free for qualifying Americans,” says a January 9, 2023 Facebook post.
Another post shared July 18, 2022 claims the measure also provides dental and vision coverage. Similar claims have circulated in spanish.
