When the Affordable Care Act, also known as ‘Obamacare‘, was passed in 2010, Republicans accused the legislation, saying it would give health care to illegal immigrants, and now the Biden administration, under Health and Human Services (HHS) is moving towards that path.
A new rule by the Biden White House will allow over 100,000 illegal immigrants to get healthcare coverage through Obamacare. Some of the illegal immigrants that will be covered are those that came to the U.S. as minors, known as DACA Dreamers, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.
However, there will be other illegal immigrants allowed to obtain health coverage as well, but the White House has not identified them yet.
Biden says the rule change will take place beginning on November 1 2024, four days before the 2024 Presidential Election.
