The proposed rule submitted by CMS amends the definition of “lawful presence” to include DACA recipients for eligibility for Medicaid and marketplace coverage.
President Joe Biden on Thursday announced a plan to expand federal health care to hundreds of thousands of immigrants who came to the United States as children but do not qualify for government insurance plans because they lack legal status.
Under the proposed rule, nearly 580,000 people enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program will be able to obtain health coverage through Medicaid or the marketplace, two public health insurance programs for which undocumented immigrants are currently ineligible.
