Enabling illegal immigrants enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program to receive health care under the Affordable Care Act will cost at least $7 billion a year, a federal agency said on June 24.

The Congressional Budget Office, with help from the Joint Committee on Taxation, crunched the numbers at the request of two members of Congress, after the federal government announced in May that it would let DACA recipients receive health coverage under the act, more commonly known as Obamacare.
