President Biden's executive order aims to benefit 500,000 undocumented immigrants, including those under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The policy allows these immigrants to sign up for subsidized healthcare coverage under Obamacare. According to a new analysis by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), this initiative will cost taxpayers at least $7 billion and significantly add to the federal deficit. The CBO estimates that about 110,000 DACA recipients will enroll in the subsidized coverage. While the government may save some money on lower emergency care costs for DACA recipients, these savings are far outweighed by the higher costs of subsidizing their healthcare.
