PRESIDENT Joe Biden addressed the nation on January 28.

He tackled a variety of critical issues during his brief speech.

What did Joe Biden say during his speech today?

President Biden spoke about affordable health care and signed multiple executive actions.

"Today we're going to sign two executive orders that will undo the damage that President Trump has done," Biden said on January 28.

He added: "I am not initiating any new law, any new aspect of the law, this is going back to what the situation was prior to the president's executive order."

Biden was referring to his predecessor, Donald Trump.

The measures include getting more Americans covered for health insurance and removing curbs on abortion counseling.

It is believed that a new three-month “special enrollment period” for health insurance could begin as soon as February 15.

The number of uninsured Americans has grown because of job losses, but the Trump administration resisted calls to reopen HealthCare.gov.

The Obama-era health care law, or Obamacare, covers more than 23million people through a mix of subsidized private insurance sold in all states.

Biden is expected to reverse a federal policy that bars taxpayer funding for international health care nonprofits offering abortion counseling or referrals.

Abortion-related actions will bring Biden praise from women's rights groups and condemnation from social and religious conservatives.

Biden also plans to review a Trump policy that allows states to impose work requirements as a condition for low-income people to get Medicaid health insurance.

The president also spoke on Wednesday, and has been addressing the nation often during the early days of his tenure.

How can I watch Biden's press conferences?

His appearances are aired live on CNN and on many other cable and network stations.

They are also streamed live on social media and on news and White House websites.
