Immigrants in the United States receive less than half the health-care services than do native-born Americans

“Our study lays to rest the myth that expensive care for immigrants is responsible for our nation’s high health costs . . . The truth is that immigrants get far less care than other Americans. Further restricting their eligibility for care would save little money and place many immigrants-particularly children-at grave risk. Already, many immigrant children fail to get regular checkups, and as a result more end up needing emergency care, or get no care at all.”
