Sen. Vance Pens Letter to HHS over Illegal Aliens using Obamacare

Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, along with a group of House Republicans, have sent a letter to Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra urging the agency to deny the use of Obamacare to illegal aliens.

First obtained by the Daily Caller, the letter hammered the Biden Administration for “issuing a proposed rule that would redefine “lawfully present” in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to include beneficiaries of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.”

Authors Senator Vance was joined by Missouri Senator Josh Hawley, and Oklahoma Rep. Josh Brecheen was joined by twelve other House Republicans.

The lawmakers wrote in the letter:

This policy further burdens programs intended to serve U.S. citizens and simultaneously encourages more aliens to enter our country illegally. We find it unimaginable that the government would prioritize providing illegal aliens with health insurance coverage.

The Daily Caller reports, “the other House Republicans who signed the letter include: Reps. Bob Good, Paul Gosar, Lauren Boebert, Matt Rosendale, Andy Biggs, Ken Buck, Eli Crane, Brian Babin, Jeff Duncan, Glenn Grothman, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Tom Tiffany.”

The lawmakers say the proposed rule is estimated to cost more than $100 million in its first year alone.
