In the issue's overview article, Arturo Vargas Bustamante and coauthors
examine health trends and disparities in health care and coverage
among US-born residents and immigrants.

**Border Health: Evidence & Policy Issues**
**Monday, July 12, 2021, 1:30-3 pm (EDT)**
The July 2021 issue of Health Affairs takes an intensive look at the
policy issues related to immigrants, borders, and health. Articles
describe current migration trends and supply new data analysis and
commentary on how policies can address disparities and ease the
disproportionate health burden borne by immigrants.
You are invited to join us on Monday, July 12, for an event focused on
health and health policy on both sides of the US-Mexico border. Authors
will present research on topics including life expectancy of populations
who have crossed the border, insurance coverage statistics for adults
and children, trauma and safety issues for those faced with expedited
expulsion from America to the Northern Triangle, and the effects of
COVID-19 on immigrants and asylum seekers. The event will also feature a
high-level conversation with well-known experts on the broader issues
policy makers, including the new American president, are confronting
every day.
We also invite you to save the date for a second online event
highlighting the July 2021 Health Affairs thematic issue: Immigrant
Health: Evidence & Policy Issues, Tuesday, July 20, 2021, 1:30-3 pm
(EDT). For more information and to RSVP, click here
.
**Health Affairs** is grateful to Arturo Vargas Bustamante of the UCLA
Fielding School of Public Health who served as theme issue adviser. We
thank the California Health Care Foundation, The California Endowment,
and Con Alma Health Foundation for their financial support of this
issue.
