Based on the directive published on Friday by the administration of the President of the United States of America, Joe Biden, approximately 100,000 migrants should sign up for health insurance in 2025 under the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. informs the agency AP NEWS.
Obamacare has been a federal law in the United States since 2010 and regulates access to health insurance, specifically its purpose is to increase the availability of health insurance for the poorer sections of the population. The law got its unofficial name “Obama Care” precisely because it was one of the main policy goals of President Barack Obama.
With the move, approximately 100,000 previously uninsured Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) participants are expected to enroll in the health insurance marketplace and essential health program created by the Affordable Care Act , the US Department of Health and Human Services said.

People protected by the 2012 DACA program are currently barred from accessing health care through the Obamacare Affordable Care Act. The rule announced Friday will end that ban.
President Biden’s directive will allow 100,000 people who came to the U.S. illegally as children to access tax credits when they sign up for insurance after the law’s marketplace enrollment opens on Nov. 1, just days before the presidential election about affordable health care.
“I am proud of the contribution Dreamers make to our country, and I am committed to giving them the support they need to succeed,” Biden said in a statement Friday. Dreamers are migrants who were brought to the US illegally as children or overstayed their visas. “Dreamers are our loved ones, our nurses, teachers and small business owners, and they deserve the promise of health care as much as all of us,” Biden was quoted as saying by the agency Reuters.
Illegal migration has become one of the main topics of the upcoming presidential election, where Republican former President Donald J. Trump and Democrat Biden should compete for electoral votes.
While Biden tries to balance his approach to border protection with policies that protect those who are in the US illegally, Trump is a supporter of a hard border on immigration. During his presidency, Trump tried to end the DACA program, but the Supreme Court overruled Trump.
Trump’s campaign has condemned Biden’s current Obamacare health care move, calling it “unfair and unsustainable.” According to Trump, immigrants in the country are taking jobs and resources away from black Americans, Hispanics and union workers.
“Joe Biden continues to force hard-working, tax-paying, struggling Americans to pay for the housing, welfare and now health care of illegal immigrants,” Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. She added that Trump will “close the borders, stop the invasion and expand economic opportunity for American citizens, not illegal aliens.”
The move by the Biden administration is also criticized by some for the reason that during President Barack Obama’s speech on September 9, 2009, when he talked about health insurance reforms, he declared that they would not apply to illegal immigrants. “The reforms I’m proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally,” Obama said.
