Biden plan to extend ObamaCare eligibility to illegal immigrants gets pushback in Congress: 'Madness'
Fox News
Rep. Nancy Mace is introducing a resolution of disapproval to oppose a Biden administration rule to grant ObamaCare to some illegal immigrants protected by a 2012 order.
The administration announced that those enrolled under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program will be allowed to access ObamaCare through HealthCare.gov and state-based marketplaces.

The administration says it predicts that the rule, which will go into effect just days before the 2024 presidential election, will result in over 100,000 uninsured illegal immigrants accessing health insurance. The rule does so by making what HHS calls "technical modifications" to the definition of "lawfully present" used to determine eligibility.
