Legislation to let undocumented immigrants use Md. health care marketplace to get House vote


The House of Delegates is preparing to vote later this week on a bill that would allow Maryland’s undocumented population to purchase individual health insurance plans from the state’s insurance marketplace. The so-called Access to Care Act would would prompt the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange, the state’s insurance marketplace created as a result of the national Affordable Care Act, to file a federal waiver to permit undocumented Marylanders to buy and use individual health care plans.
