The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs

Friday, July 9, 2021

Dear John,

Research published in the July issue compares immigration enforcement
activity to health care use among Hispanic and non-Hispanic adults.

Effects Of Immigration Enforcement

Deportation enforcement activity may influence health care seeking and
access to care for both targeted undocumented residents and those close
to them, including documented immigrants and US citizens.

For a study in the July issue, Abigail Friedman and coauthor Atheendar
Venkataramani connected reported immigration enforcement activity with
health care use

and access among Hispanic and non-Hispanic residents.

They found that aggressive deportation enforcement in the US may make
both undocumented and documented Hispanic residents reluctant to seek
medical care. A negative correlation between increased deportation
enforcement and annual check-ups among Hispanic adults held even among
diabetic patients, for whom lapses in care may confer significant health
risks.

Friedman will discuss this research on an upcoming episode of A Health
Podyssey
.

Today on Health Affairs Blog, Katie Keith covers recent developments
from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

and Peter Bach discusses two recent surprising conclusions
about
drug spending

from Congress.

Listen to our latest podcasts .
On today's episode of Health Affairs This Week
,
Leslie Erdelack and Chris Fleming break down the No Surprises Act, which
offers patient protections on surprise medical bills.
