CHA STATEMENT ON EXPANDING HEALTH COVERAGE ELIGIBILITY FOR DACA RECIPIENTS
* * *
An estimated one-third of the nation's DACA recipients are currently uninsured, and this expanded eligibility represents one further step toward the goal of Catholic health care to ensure accessible and affordable health coverage for all.
CHA has been a longtime advocate of the DACA program based on our Catholic faith and our strong support for the immigrant community. We recognize the vital contributions DACA recipients make to our nation's health care workforce and believe that ensuring they have affordable health care coverage is essential to not only their health and well-being but also to the health and well-being of the patients and communities we serve.
CHA will continue our efforts to advocate for access to quality and affordable care for everyone, regardless of immigration status.
