According to new reports, Joe Biden is planning to give access to both Obamacare and Medicaid to the DACA illegals.
Biden isn’t planning to seek approval from Congress either to get it done. He’s gonna do it himself:
ABC NEWS – President Joe Biden is set to announce that his administration is expanding eligibility for Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act’s health insurance exchanges to hundreds of thousands of immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children, according to two U.S. officials briefed on the matter.
The action will allow participants in the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, to access government-funded health insurance programs. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the matter before the formal announcement on Thursday.
The 2012 DACA initiative was meant to shield from deportation immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents as young children and to allow them to work legally in the country. However, the immigrants were still ineligible for government-subsidized health insurance programs because they did not meet the definition for having “lawful presence” in the U.S. That’s what Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services will aim to change by the end of the month.
Just like Obama, Biden is using his pen and his phone to give something he doesn’t have the authority to give.
Granting access to these programs should require congressional approval. But since Republicans took over the House, Biden isn’t interested in seeking their approval.
You can bet when he does this it will be challenged in the courts and rightfully so. Hopefully it gets blocked immediately.
