Immigrant Health: Evidence & Policy Issues

Today, Health Affairs hosted the second of two July issue briefings
. "Immigrant Health: Evidence &
Policy Issues" focused on effects of recent US immigration policy on
health care, coverage, and outcomes for immigrants in the United States.

Featured authors presented their research published in the July issue,
Borders, Immigrants, and Health
.

* Arturo Vargas Bustamante presented on health trends and disparities

in health, health care, and coverage among US-born residents and
immigrants.

* Dolores Acevedo-Garcia described immigrant legality as a social
determinant

of family and children's health and a barrier to safety-net programs.

* Brandy Lipton discussed the effects of California's May 2016
Health4All Kids coverage expansion

on noncitizen children's uninsurance rates and sources of coverage.

* Leighton Ku discussed citizenship eligibility restrictions
and
access to public insurance coverage for noncitizen children.

* Sharon Touw described the influence on immigrant essential workers
of changes to the "public charge" rule

concerning noncitizens accessing public programs.

**** Following the presentations, Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil moderated a
discussion and audience question-and-answer with the presenters about
policy issues related to immigrants and health.

Today on Health Affairs Blog, Brian Blase, an assistant to the president
at the White House's National Economic Council from January 2017
through June 2019, argues that, without proper context, the claim that
31 million Americans were enrolled

in coverage under the Affordable Care Act is misleading.
