Litigation Content

Why this Matters:

The plaintiffs allege that a federal regulation expanding access to health coverage for DACA recipients violates the Administrative Procedure Act. DACA recipients are over three times more likely to be uninsured than the US population writ large, so federal efforts to mitigate such disparities can help DACA recipients obtain more needed medical services, avoid incurring medical debt, and experience improved health outcomes. This appeal addresses whether the district court erred in finding that the the plaintiffs have standing and granting their motion for preliminary injunction.


Potential Impact:

The inability for regulators to ensure DACA recipients can access health coverage through the Affordable Care Act’s Marketplaces could jeopardize improvements in health and well-being, as well as associated contributions to the economy and wider community.
