Biden expands healthcare access for DACA recipients.
TL;DR Summary
President Joe Biden announced a plan to expand access to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act insurance marketplace for the 580,000 recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, granting temporary legal status to undocumented immigrants who came to the US as children. The move is the latest effort by Biden to strengthen the DACA program as momentum for comprehensive immigration reform has stalled in Congress. The Department of Health and Human Services will propose a rule expanding the definition of who is considered lawfully present to be eligible for the two health care programs.
