The family relies on health insurance through the Affordable Care Act, especially for Octavio. The Trump administration told a federal court on June 7, 2018, that it would no longer defend crucial provisions of the Affordable Care Act because they were part of an unconstitutional scheme that required most Americans to carry health insurance.
