Undocumented immigrants fight for healthcare access in Maryland and Minnesota.

TL;DR Summary
Seven protesters advocating for health care for undocumented immigrants were arrested at the Maryland State House after occupying the steps and chanting "Healthcare for all." The protesters were demanding lawmakers pass a bill that would allow undocumented immigrants to buy health insurance through the state exchange. Lawmakers instead approved legislation calling for a study of options for undocumented immigrants' health care needs. The proposal would add Maryland to a small number of states targeting the group in an effort to shore up gaps in health care access.
