I graduated already, so financial aid is no longer an option but I hope many dreamers benefit from it someday.

Well if they are a family and living below the poverty line then they likely qualified for medicaid and if the coverage from medicaid is better than what the employer is giving then it's no brainer that they stick with it but let me just make one last point here. I truly think that it's offensive that they are trying to paint dreamers as these lazy whining freaks who are after handouts from the government when in fact all we want is legal status to function as active members of society and having access to health care and a decent education is part of that.
Anyways not everyone is after a crappy hand out. All I want is a little financial aid that will allow me to get my master and make a decent 6 figures salary and take good care of myself and my future children. That's all.
