WASHINGTON (AP) — Millions of Americans can begin selecting their 2023 health insurance plans on HealthCare.gov on Tuesday. Open enrollment begins, as the Biden administration pushes to keep the number of uninsured Americans at a record low. Those searching for coverage will largely be shielded from an increase in costs. The generous subsidies approved during the pandemic are continuing. That will keep monthly premium payments at zero dollars or just a few dollars monthly for most people who enroll.  The larger price breaks have driven a jump in enrollment as the Obama-era law that launched the program marks a decade in business.
