Could Undocumented Immigrants Help Obamacare?

The recent news about the rise in premiums for some ACA beneficiaries highlights the need to reduce the risk of the Marketplace insurance pool. One strategy is to increase the number of younger, healthier people into the Marketplace, as this group typically does not use a lot of health care. Another potentially effective, albeit controversial, way to accomplish this would be to allow the ACA to cover the country's 11–12 million undocumented immigrants.
