When those seeking refuge are resettled in the United States, they receive short-term health insurance called Refugee Medical Assistance that is available for up to 8 months. Some refugees may be eligible for Medicaid or Children's Health Insurance Programs for several years. When this temporary health assistance is over, the refugee is expected to receive health insurance through their employment or on the ACA marketplace insurance exchanges.
