Undocumented immigrants gain healthcare access as immigration remains a top issue
- New Biden regulation allows ‘Dreamers’ to access Obamacare coverage
- 100,000 previously uninsured people could enroll in health coverage
- Dreamers are undocumented immigrants brought into the U.S. as children
- Biden administration defends DACA policy and calls for pathway to citizenship
- Gallup poll shows immigration as the top U.S. problem
- Increased importance of immigration helps Trump solidify support
- Bipartisan Senate deal to reduce illegal crossings collapses
President Joe Biden’s administration has finalized a regulation that allows ‘Dreamers’ to enroll in health plans through the Affordable Care Act, potentially providing coverage to 100,000 previously uninsured individuals. ‘Dreamers’ are undocumented immigrants brought into the U.S. as children and are participants in the DACA program. The Biden administration has been a strong advocate for DACA and is now expanding healthcare access for this group. Meanwhile, a recent Gallup poll revealed that immigration is the top concern for Americans, with Republicans being particularly focused on the issue. This increased importance of immigration has helped former President Donald Trump solidify his support among voters. Despite a bipartisan Senate deal to address illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border, it collapsed due to opposition from Trump.
