So here's some of the text on the site.
part 1: Restricted access to health care
what are the health care restrictions released by the obama administration on august 28, 2012?
The obama administration released two official policy announcements on august 28, 2012, that affect the eligibility for federal health care programs of individuals granted deferred action under the administration’s “deferred action for childhood arrivals” (daca) policy. the policies announced on august 28 — issued as federal regulations and guidance — do not affect any other immigration category and do not affect individuals granted deferred action apart from the daca policy.
The announcement changes federal rules for daca-eligible individuals by excluding them from affordable health insurance options that are available to other individuals with deferred action. See below for more details.
Before the changes announced on august 28, some daca-eligible individuals would have gained access to more options for affordable and comprehensive health insurance. Youth granted daca who are under 21 years of age or pregnant and who are otherwise eligible would have been able to apply for free or low-cost health insurance through a state’s medicaid program or children’s health insurance program (chip) in about half of the states. In some states, pregnant women will continue to have access to federal health insurance coverage under chip regardless of their immigration status. (see the nilc table “medical assistance programs for immigrants in various states” (pdf).)
after 2014, daca-eligible individuals would have had additional options to buy affordable health insurance in their state as a result of federal health care reform. (the health care reform law’s name is the affordable care act (aca). Sometimes it is referred to as “obamacare.”
as a result of the august 28 changes, daca-eligible individuals will remain excluded from almost all affordable health insurance options. They will be treated as though they are undocumented, even though they are otherwise considered lawfully present and are eligible for a work permit and a social security number. Unless their state has established a state-funded health coverage program, their only opportunity to obtain affordable, comprehensive health insurance may be through employment.
When do the restrictions go into effect?
The restrictions are effective august 30, 2012. The restrictions apply to every daca-eligible individual effective immediately.
What do people granted deferred action outside of daca have access to in terms of health care?
People granted “non-daca” deferred action:
Enroll in low-cost, comprehensive health insurance available through medicaid or chip in about half the states, if they are under age 21 or pregnant. See below for more details.
Enroll in a state’s high-risk insurance pool, referred to as the pre-existing condition insurance plan (pcip). This allows u.s. Citizens and lawfully present immigrants who are currently uninsured and cannot get health insurance because they have a particular medical condition (such as cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, depression) to buy more affordable health insurance.
After january 1, 2014, people with non-daca deferred action status:
Can buy private, comprehensive health insurance if health insurance is not available to them through their school or work. This new way of buying health insurance under federal health care reform is often referred to as the “health insurance marketplace,” although the marketplace may have a unique name in each state, such as “covered california” or the “new york state of health.” open enrollment in the marketplace for coverage in 2014 starts october 1, 2013, and ends march 31, 2014. undocumented people are not eligible to buy health insurance inside the marketplace.
Can apply for financial assistance to pay for the private health insurance purchased through the marketplace. The financial assistance will be provided in the form of federal refundable tax credits, known as “premium tax credits” and “cost-sharing reductions.” the amount of the tax credit will be based on income. As a result, the price of health insurance will vary based on an individual’s or family’s income, so it will be more affordable. See below for more information.
Can enroll in a “basic health program,” if their state has one, starting in 2015. The basic health program will be another affordable health insurance option for low-income and working families.
Will be required to have health insurance under the “individual mandate” unless it is unaffordable or the individual is eligible for an exemption.

like i said you're such a moron ...the numbers you are speaking of are miniscule at best ... The way you make it sound that every illegal in the country gets this .. They don't ... This has to be approved by the government you idiot ... You're making mountains out of piss ant hills ...
The only rational response to this is obvious.......No illegal should be getting health care under Obamacare. Zero. Zip.None. Nada.
They dreamed up this scam by claiming that 30 million Americans were without insurance and here they're giving it to people that shouldn't be here in the first place. The 30 million that didn't have it before still don't have it 4 years after the thing was passed.
What's worse is Obama and the Democrats are forcing us to subsidize these people merely to get their votes. This should be illegal, and when the GOP takes back congress they will make it illegal if it already isn't.
its how you define illegal moron ... a typical immoral republican we get it ...
