enrollees

今月は結構さぼっていますので(先生、すみません)、もうひとつ。enroleesは「(社会保障等の)受給者」のことです(もちろん複数形)。ObamaCareの文脈ではよく見かける言い回しです。(Koyamamoto)

House Passes Bill Letting People Keep Their Health Plans

Defying a veto threat from President Obama, the House on Friday approved legislation that would allow health insurance companies to renew individual insurance policies and sell similar policies to new customers next year even if the coverage does not provide all the benefits and consumer protections required by the new health care law.

The vote was 261 to 157, with 39 Democrats bucking their party leadership to vote in favor of the bill.

The legislation would go further than the fix announced on Thursday by Mr. Obama, who said he would temporarily waive some requirements of the law and allow insurers to renew “current policies for current enrollees.”
