These illegal immigrants are eligible for Obamacare after Biden rule change
Fox News
Over 100,000 illegal immigrants protected by an Obama-era executive order will soon be able to obtain health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act, officials said Friday.
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 Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) rule would allow DACA recipients to apply for coverage through HealthCare.gov and state-based marketplaces as soon as November 1. The rule does so by making what HHS calls "technical modifications" to the definition of "lawfully present" used to determine eligibility.
