** Trump’s Proclamation Requiring Immigrants to Have Health Insurance
------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Allies,
Are you getting questions about the White House proclamation ([link removed]) to suspend visas for uninsured immigrants? We have you covered. See below for a new fact sheet, talking points and analysis from our partners.
SUMMARY: President’s Proclamation Immigrants to Have Health Insurance ([link removed])
Yesterday, our friends at Migration Policy Institute crunched the numbers and posted an excellent Twitter thread ([link removed]) , noting that the proclamation could exclude 2/3 of future immigrants. At The Washington Post, Catherine Rampell called Friday’s proclamation a “presidential twofer ([link removed]) ,” simultaneously sabotaging our health-care and immigration systems.
We’ve also developed the following talking points. We encourage you to lift these up with reporters and through social media.
* Like public charge, the proclamation is another brick in Trump’s invisible wall – along with other policies of hate and exclusion
* Above and beyond the draconian public charge regulation, this harmful policy undermines the country’s health care and family immigration systems
* This isn’t helping hospitals or helping people access health care, it’s about sending a message that if you’re not white and you’re not wealthy, you’re not welcome.
Thank you for your continued partnership!
