President Joe Biden announced on Friday that he will be allowing some illegal immigrants to receive taxpayer-funded medical welfare under the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare.

“Today, my Administration is expanding affordable, quality health care coverage to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients. Dreamers are our loved ones, our nurses, teachers, and small business owners. And they deserve the promise of health care just like all of us,” said President Biden.
The newly announced rules will apply to the over 800,000 recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) law.
DACA was established in 2012 under the Obama administration, and allows certain illegal immigrants brought into the country as children, known as “Dreamers,” to continually apply for deferred deportation.
It also grants Dreamers the legal right to work in the U.S., without granting them lawful residence or a path to citizenship.
When DACA was first implemented, President Barack Obama built in rules meant to exclude Dreamers from Obamacare, because many people were opposed to the idea of taxpayer funding going to pay the health insurance of illegal immigrants.
Biden’s new rules will allow Dreamers to apply for coverage, and promises them that, if they qualify, they will receive taxpayer-funded financial aid in purchasing health insurance.
In his announcement, Biden claimed that four out of five “consumers” of the Affordable Care Act pay under $10 per month for health insurance.
According to USA Today, the average monthly cost of health insurance for an American citizen trying to pay his own way, when not subsidized by an employer, is $477.
The Biden Administration estimates that roughly 100,000 DACA recipients will be eligible to receive taxpayer funded health care.
The new rules will take effect in November, as the country prepared to vote in the general election which will determine whether Biden receives a second term in office.
Biden also promised to continue his efforts to “fortify” DACA, and called on Congress to give Dreamers permanent legal status with a path to citizenship.

“Let’s Go Brandon!”
I think our Founders said it the best, perhaps it’s past time to remind them?
“…that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government…”
Now that’s being “Pro-Life”, healthcare for children.
This is just wrong. How much can citizen tax payer bear? Biden needs to go to Shady Acres.
Americas last… that’s the democrats motto
“The global elites of Europe invited them in and then paid for them to be there.” I highly recommend this short video because it’s exactly what’s happening here with the “Office of New Mainers” passed by the ME Marxists who, of course, will accuse you of being a racist, bigot, xenophobe and Islamophobe if you object. Don’t fall for it or back down.

I had to pay a fine of $1000 a few years ago for not having insurance and now they give it to people for free, who have not contributed anything to our society.
I’m 66, keep working to pay heath insurance for my wife and I. 500 per month. FJB!
My last routine medical appointment took 6 months before I could get in because Mills drove healthcare workers from the state with her illegal vax mandate so now I’m wondering how long the wait will be since Brandon flooded the state with illegal immigrants and now wants to put them on the free healthcare bus. All this and 34-35-36 trillion in debt. How could anybody vote for these morons? Wake up people you already live in a third world country, wanna try for 4th?
Obama, when talking about free Obama Care, was emphatic that NO PERSON WHO WAS HERE ILLEGALLY WOULD GET THIS HEALTH CARE. That’s when Congressman Wilson shouted out “You Lie”, and everyone tried to shame to congressman. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgce06Yw2ro
Dirty Dems once again prove they untrustworthy and will lie about everything.
Illegal immigrants should receive noting but deportation. F##k O’Biden
