Biden administration finalizes rule that will open up ObamaCare to illegal immigrants

 

The Biden administration published a new rule Friday that will allow tens of thousands of illegal immigrants to receive health care through ObamaCare.

 

The new rule, according to a White House statement, removes a prohibition on illegal immigrants protected from deportation under the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program from accessing healthcare through the Affordable Care Act.

 

The rule will go into effect as soon as November 1, and the administration estimates that 100,000 uninsured illegal immigrants will be able to access taxpayer-funded health insurance under the rule. The immigrants will be able to apply for coverage through Healthcare.org and state-based marketplaces.

Referring to illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as minors as โ€œDreamers,โ€ President Joe Biden said the rule will grant them a pathway to citizenship.

 

โ€œTodayโ€™s rule also reinforces the Presidentโ€™s enduring commitment to DACA recipients and Dreamers, who contribute daily to the strength and vitality of our communities and our country,โ€ the White House said.
