Biden expands health coverage for DACA immigrants.

The Biden administration is proposing new rules that would allow immigrants covered by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program to qualify for health insurance through Medicaid and Affordable Care Act marketplaces. The plan would benefit up to 580,000 young people brought to the United States as children and broaden the definition of who qualifies for these two insurance programs. The effort to make health coverage more accessible to these young people is part of a sharp policy reversal between the Biden administration and its predecessor.
