Biden Administration Allows Access to Obamacare Health Insurance
Biden‘s New Rule Aims to Provide Health Insurance for Undocumented Immigrant Children
According to The Guardian, the Biden team made a new rule to help immigrant children who came to the US without papers. These immigrant children are called Dreamers and can now get health insurance through a plan called Obamacare. The president said it’s a big deal but wants Congress to make a real plan for Dreamers to stay and become citizens. Before these immigrant children couldn’t get health insurance because they didn’t have papers to be in the US legally but now they can. This change could help around 100,000 of these immigrant children who didn’t have insurance before. It won’t cost the government too much money less than $1 billion. This is good news but these immigrant children still can’t get another kind of health insurance called Medicaid. Some politicians didn’t like that idea but the Americans in charge of health and human services said it’s important to help these kids stay healthy. Not having health insurance can be tough. Americans might not go to the doctor when they need to or get stuck with big medical bills. This change is meant to help with that.
To get this health insurance these immigrant children can sign up online. Some might even get help to pay for it but even with insurance it can still cost a lot of money to go to the doctor sometimes. This whole thing is part of a bigger law called Obamacare. President Biden helped make this law when he was vice president. Some politicians wanted to get rid of it but most Americans like it. The Dreamers program started in 2012. It helps kids who came to the US without papers but now its future is unsure. Some politicians are arguing about it in court. Politicians wanted to make a law to let these kids stay in the US for good but it didn’t work out. Americans who want to help these kids stay say it’s important to let them be a part of America. They’re our friends, neighbors, and coworkers, and they want to do good things for the country. So even though this new rule helps there’s still more work to do to make sure these kids can stay in the US and be part of our communities.

Furthermore, this new rule is just one step in helping these immigrant children. There’s more to be done to make sure they can stay in the US and be part of our communities. We need laws that say they can stay here for good and become citizens. It’s important because these kids are already part of America. They’re our friends, neighbors, and coworkers. They want to make our country better and we should give them the chance to do that.
