This pioneering volume represents the culmination of
state-of-the-art research whose purpose was to investigate the
relationship between health care and immigration in the USA - two
broken systems in need of reform. This volume sets out to answer
the question: how do medical institutions address the needs of
individuals and families who are poor, lacking English fluency, and
often devoid of legal documents? The book provides an examination
of the challenges faced by institutions aiming to serve
impoverished people and communities desperately in need of help. It
represents a comprehensive portrayal of two institutional
arrangements affecting the lives of millions on a daily basis.
Health Care and Immigration offers accounts of the alternative
paths used by immigrants to bypass dominant health-care
organizations, and regional variations in health-care; the
evolution and character of health-care legislation; factors
explaining the persistence of altruistic institutions in a market
economy, as well as the parts played by local legislation and
social networks; and changes resulting from migration that affect
the health of immigrants. This volume will be an invaluable
resource for academics, researchers and students, as well as public
officials addressing the health care needs of disadvantaged groups.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and
Racial Studies.
