Meeting the Health Needs of the Immigrant Community In Uncertain Times

Summary

Published Date: June 12, 2017

​Federal ACA "repeal and replace" efforts threaten California's progress in expanding health care coverage. As outlined in the ITUP ACA Watch series, the pending federal rollback of the ACA, the American Health Care Act, would result in millions of Californians losing coverage. In addition to this threat, Trump Administration immigration policies create an atmosphere of uncertainty that compromise health care access for California's immigrant communities. The fact sheet provides information on California's immigrant community, the barriers they face to access health care, and California policies promoting access and/or coverage for all residents, regardless of immigration status.

This fact sheet cites a Center policy brief written by Associate Center Director Steven P. Wallace and Director of Research Nadereh Pourat.
