The Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF) and its national, state, and local partners strongly support the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Proposed Rule to end the exclusion of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients from eligibility to purchase plans and obtain subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplaces and other health insurance affordability programs. We further support CMS’ proposal to implement clarifications and technical corrections that will simplify ACA Marketplace enrollment and improve access to health coverage.
