Biden lifts U.S. travel ban for immigrants unable to buy health insurance

According to President Biden, the immigration rule introduced by the Trump administration is not in the interests of the United States.

In this regard, US President Joe Biden signed a decree canceling the Donald Trump administration’s immigration rule banning immigrants who cannot afford to pay for health insurance from entering the United States.

The Biden decree emphasizes that the US administration is seeking to expand citizens’ access to quality and affordable health care.

“However, we can achieve this goal without prohibiting the entry of immigrants who intend to enter our country legally, but do not have significant financial resources or have not purchased health insurance,” says a document published by the White House. In addition, it emphasizes that the ban on entry did not meet the interests of the United States.

Earlier, a US federal judge in New York blocked the implementation of an immigration rule imposed by the Trump administration, according to which an immigrant could be denied permanent residency in the United States if an official considered that the immigrant could turn to the state for help.

They talked about food allowances, preferential health insurance and the provision of subsidized housing.

In the verdict, he explained that the federal government did not provide evidence of the need to apply this rule, which is contrary to the principle of the “American Dream”.
