The camel's nose under the tent is becoming a full free ride now for DACA recipients on health care.
For DACA recipients, U.S. life under Joe Biden just keeps getting better and better.
Here's the latest from the Washington Examiner:
President Joe Biden is reportedly set to expand the health plans available to hundreds of thousands of people who illegally immigrated to the United States as children.
Biden's decision will allow participants in the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program to access government-funded health insurance programs such as Medicaid and Obamacare's health insurance exchanges, officials reportedly told the Associated Press. A formal announcement is expected on Thursday.
DACA was announced in 2012 and allows participants to work legally. However, recipients don't have full legal status and are denied access to multiple government benefits given to citizens.
In particular, DACA recipients are disqualified from government-subsidized health insurance because they lack a "lawful presence" in the U.S.
Seems the camel's nose under the tent of the DACA executive order, which was supposed to be a two-year renewable amnesty with work permits alone, has expanded into greater and greater benefits -- and won't be likely to stop.

Technically you are right. But, executive branch agencies have coopted some of the power that congress used to have. The Department of Health and Human Services may just do it as an administrative modification to 0bama Care and congress probably won't do a thing about it.
