Cost of public health insurance for US-born and immigrant adults: JAMA Network

2023 OCT 04 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Politics, Law & Government Daily -- About The Study: The findings of this study of 44,000 low-income, working-age adults suggest that the direct cost of providing public health insurance to immigrants is less than that for the U.S. born, and immigrants’ health care utilization, upon coverage, remains comparatively modest, thus refuting the notion that providing insurance to immigrants imposes a heavy fiscal burden.

Authors: Felix M. Muchomba, Ph.D., of the State University of New Jersey in New Brunswick, is the corresponding author.
