Health Dialogues: Immigration Reform and Public Health

Immigration Reform and
Public Health

Immigration reform is in the air once again - with President Obama saying the issue will be tackled next year. Join Health Dialogues as we look at what it's like for undocumented and seasonal workers to get health care under the current system, and how immigration reform could change things.

Immigrant Health Data

View our interactive charts exploring health access statistics for immigrants, based on how long they have been in the United States. According to the data, immigrants who have been here for more than twenty years are most likely to see a doctor, yet are least likely to have a usual source for health care.
