Biden expands health care access for DACA recipients through Medicaid and Obamacare.

President Joe Biden has proposed a rule to expand federal health care to nearly 580,000 immigrants enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, allowing them to obtain health coverage through Medicaid or the marketplace. The proposed rule submitted by CMS amends the definition of “lawful presence” to include DACA recipients for eligibility for Medicaid and marketplace coverage. The Biden administration expects to have the new policy in place by the end of the month.
