Biden Admin Grants Obamacare Access to 100,000 DACA Recipients Starting Next Year

May 3, 2024, 10:45 AM

President Joe Biden's administration has finalized a new policy on Friday that will allow approximately 100,000 DACA recipients, often referred to as 'Dreamers', to access federally subsidized health insurance through the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This significant expansion aims to provide health insurance to immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children. The policy change, which includes eligibility for taxpayer-funded subsidies, is set to take effect next year, marking the first time these individuals will be eligible for federal healthcare coverage since DACA's inception over a decade ago.
