With a License, they can then apply for insurance. It is not the job of an insurance company to determine the legality of an undocumented resident.

I was just wondering if any other states had given undocumented folks license's and if they were able to get insurance. I honestly haven't done enough research to have a strong opinion one way or another this is why I asked. Although I think it's a stretch to call it a health issue as the article does.

12 states and DC have done it. And undocumented immigrants there can get insurance

Thanks for the information. I was unaware that it has been done in other states.

While we like to think Massachusetts is at the forefront, sometimes we fall behind
