On September 21, the Kaiser Family Foundation released a report providing an overview of key issues surrounding current immigrant health care and proposed changes under the numerous health care reform proposals.
From the executive summary:
As health reform discussions continue, there has been some focus on health care for immigrants and how they will be treated under health care reform. As of 2008, there were 39 million immigrants in the U.S., accounting for 13% of the population. According to the Pew Hispanic Center, about seven in ten immigrants are naturalized citizens and legal non-citizens, who together account for 9% of the population. The estimated 11.9 million undocumented immigrants make up 4% of the population and 5.4% of the workforce. This document provides an overview of key questions related to immigrant health care and health reform.
