The Biden administration recently finalized a rule extending subsidized health coverage to approximately 100,000 people without health insurance who entered the United States illegally. These folks are part of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program — a group sometimes known as “dreamers.”
The new rule effectively rewrites substantive parts of Obamacare by executive decree. It’s hard to know what’s more troubling — that President Biden believes he can get away with such a flagrant violation of the Constitution, or that he actually might.
DACA is an Obama-era program established by executive action that enables people who came to the United States illegally as children to remain in the country temporarily without facing deportation. As the name implies, it “defers action” on these individuals’ immigration cases. It also authorizes them to work for renewable two-year periods.
