Health Care: Sharing the Costs, Sharing the Benefits


Read the fact sheet in .pdf.

As policymakers debate the scope and form of the health care reform package, it is important to understand the role of immigrant participation in the current health care system. Misconceptions about immigrants and their participation in our health care system abound, the facts demonstrate that immigrants can and should contribute to any new program. It is both good policy and common sense to treat access to health insurance for all as an investment in the nation’s public health. This fact sheet provides basic analysis on the benefits of inclusion and the actual impact of immigrant participation on the current health care system. (July 22, 2009)
