FACT OF THE DAY
Almost half of California's urban Latino children who are
eligible for federally funded health coverage are not receiving
it because of their parents' immigrant status, according to a
study by the University of California at Los Angeles. The study,
published in this week's issue of the JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN
MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, suggests that health coverage for
California's children "was likely to worsen" if pending measures
to further restrict benefits are adopted.
