The
Health of Immigrant Populations: Coverage,
Access, and Outcomes
June 13, 2002
Overview
The immigrant population, which in 2000 included 11 percent of people in
the U.S., are disproportionately more likely than native-born citizens to
lack health care coverage and to receive fewer health care services. One
in five U.S. children reside in the house of a foreign-born householder.
During this program, Dr. Julie Hudman of the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid
and the Uninsured provides an overview of immigrants' health care coverage
and access. In addition, Dr. Stella Yu of the Maternal and Child Health
Bureau discusses MCHB studies on the health and well being of immigrant
children.
