AG Platkin announced he is leading an effort  a group of 14 states in defending health insurance access for Dreamers from court challenges. The states’ motion to intervene comes as the incoming Trump Administration threatens to stop defending the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) Final Rule granting DACA recipients access to Affordable Care Act (ACA) exchanges from a legal challenge brought by a coalition of states led by Kansas.

“I have proudly led the fight for DACA for years, and now I’m proud to lead the effort ensuring that Dreamers have the same access to healthcare as everyone else […] Undermining Dreamers’ access to healthcare not only hurts them and their American children, but it harms states like New Jersey too. we will never back down from fighting for our Dreamers, no matter who is in charge in Washington." – AG Platkin
