The Nebraska Democratic Party’s Latinx Caucus has condemned Attorney General Mike Hilgers’ participation in a multi-state lawsuit aimed at blocking DACA recipients from accessing health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. The lawsuit, led by Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach and supported by 15 states, challenges a new federal rule that would enable these recipients, who contribute significantly to local economies, to purchase taxpayer-subsidized health plans. Hilgers argues that it is unfair for Nebraska taxpayers to fund health benefits for individuals deemed unlawfully present. The Latinx Caucus responded by emphasizing the community’s contributions and asserting that health care should be accessible to all who contribute to Nebraska.
