The recent court ruling denying over 162,000 Dreamers access to Affordable Care Act (ACA) insurance across 19 states is deeply concerning. DACA recipients are hardworking individuals who contribute significantly to our economy and communities. Excluding them from access to healthcare coverage undermines their well-being and ability to thrive. Studies show that DACA recipients have contributed billions in taxes and wages, benefiting our nation's economic prosperity. Denying them access to affordable health insurance not only jeopardizes their health but also imposes an unnecessary financial burden, impacting their ability to fully participate in and contribute to society. Furthermore, healthcare is a fundamental human right. Restricting access to healthcare undermines our nation's commitment to equity and inclusivity. It is crucial to recognize the valuable contributions of DACA recipients and ensure they have access to essential services, including healthcare coverage. I urge you to take decisive action to protect the healthcare rights of DACA recipients and work towards restoring their access to ACA insurance across all states. Ensuring equitable access to healthcare is not only a moral imperative but also an investment in the well-being and productivity of our communities.
