Interesting article on health care access by undocumented immigrants

Hey everyone,

As I was preparing for our presentation a couple of weeks ago, I came across this comprehensive yet concise article on health care access/use by undocumented immigrants. In the heated immigration debates in California, it's often stated that undocumented immigrants use a disproportionate amount of public services, especially health care. The data presented in the article demonstrates that this population has low rates of health care utilization and that immigrant authorization status remains a significant barrier to health care access.
You can take a look at the article at: http://archinte.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/167/21/2354

Many regards,
Rosa
