Fifteen states have filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) challenging a new rule that extends health coverage benefits under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to individuals granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status.
The lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota on Aug. 8, alleges that the new rule defies existing federal laws defining eligibility for public benefits.
