Biden grants Obamacare access to illegal immigrant Dreamers in DACA program

President Biden on Thursday announced plans to give illegal immigrant Dreamers in the DACA program access to Obamacare, saying they deserved the same right to health care as Americans.

The proposed regulation would make DACA recipients eligible for Medicaid if they meet the low-income threshold. It would also allow them to buy insurance on Obamacare’s exchanges.

Mr. Biden said in a video message that health care is an American right and that those in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program have earned the chance to share in that.

“They’re American in every way except on paper,” he said.
