That's not correct. Obamacare doesn't cover undocumented immigrants. You're thinking of Medi-Cal which covers the undocumented and others.

Which makes sense since the goal is to reduce the number of uninsured and the undocumented are mostly taxpayers as well.

"Immigrants who are not lawfully present do not qualify for a health plan through Covered California; however, they may qualify for coverage through Medi-Cal if they are younger than 26 or are 50 or older, if they are a DACA recipient, if they are currently pregnant or were recently pregnant."
