Open enrollment for Affordable Care Act insurance is happening from tomorrow to Jan. 15 in most states, with a new rule allowing DACA recipients to enroll in ACA plans. The rule is being challenged in federal court by Kansas and 18 other states, while 19 states and D.C. support it. The lawsuit argues that the rule will cause management and resource burdens. ACA plans are open to American citizens and lawfully present immigrants, and now DACA recipients qualify as lawfully present. The outcome of the lawsuit could be delayed into next year, potentially impacted by the outcome of the presidential election.
