Addresses the cost of COVID-19 testing by guiding the Secretary of the Treasury, the HHS, the Secretary of Labor, and the COVID-19 Response Coordinator to 1) facilitate the provision of COVID-19 testing free of charge to those who lack comprehensive health insurance, and 2) clarify group health plans' and health insurance issuers' obligations to provide coverage for COVID-19 testing.

7. EO 13997: Improving and Expanding Access to Care and Treatments for COVID-19

Directs HHS and the National Institutes of Health to develop plans to 1) accelerate COVID-19 therapy development and 2) improve access to quality and affordable healthcare. This order urges various federal departments and agencies to provide targeted surge assistance to critical and long-term care facilities.

Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of HHS, and the Secretary of Homeland Security, among others, are directed to create a pandemic supply chain resilience strategy by securing necessary supplies and pricing, including critical materials, treatments, supplies, and resources necessary to produce and distribute tests and vaccines at scale.

12. EO 14002: Economic Relief Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic

All executive departments and agencies should identify actions they can take to address the current economic crisis resulting from the pandemic. The departments are instructed to specifically consider how to better use data and improve access to, reduce unnecessary barriers to, and improve coordination among programs wholly or partially funded by the federal government.

Looking Forward

A January 28, 2021 press release from the White House states that President Biden plans to sign an executive order titled “Protecting Women’s Health at Home and Abroad.” This order will expand access to comprehensive reproductive health and direct the HHS to take immediate action to consider whether to rescind regulations under its Title X family planning program. Further, this executive order would rescinds the “global gag rule,” or the “Mexico City Policy,” which currently prevents international non-profits from receiving U.S. funding if they provide abortion counseling or referrals. As a result, this order will provide women across the country and around the world with increased health care rights and access. For more information, please see here.

A full list of President Biden’s executive orders is available here. The orders are related, but not limited to, immigration efforts, migration protection, the climate crisis, and incarceration system formation.
