Public Health Insurance Expansion for Immigrant Children and Interstate Migration of Low-Income Immigrants
Public Health Insurance Expansion for Immigrant Children and Interstate Migration of Low-Income Immigrants
Federal policy changes in 2002 and 2009 led some states to expand public health insurance coverage to non-US-born children and pregnant women who are lawful permanent residents during their first 5 years of residency in the United States. In other states, there were concerns that insurance expansion could attract immigrants to relocate to gain free health insurance coverage.
