Content: The relevant section of the law, also known as Obamacare, is Section 1312 (f) (3), which reads: "Access limited to lawful residents. If an individual is not, or is not reasonably expected to be for the entire period for which enrollment is sought, a citizen or national of the United States or an alien lawfully present in the United States, the individual shall not be treated as a qualified individual and may not be covered under a qualified health plan in the individual market that is offered through an Exchange. Medical help for illegal immigrants is still available in many cities across the United States, however. A 2016 survey of counties that have the largest populations of illegal immigrants found most had facilities that offer illegal immigrants "doctor visits, shots, prescription drugs, lab tests, and surgeries." The services cost U.S. taxpayers more than $1 billion a year. The survey was conducted by The Wall Street Journal. "The services usually are inexpensive or free to participants, who must prove they live in the county but are told their immigration status doesn’t matter," the newspaper reported . Individual Mandate and Undocumented Immigrants
Undocumented immigrants living in the United States are the largest segment of the population without health insurance. It has been estimated that as much as half of the illegal immigrant population in the United States doesn't have health insurance.
