Opinion: Health Reform a Mixed Bag for Immigrants
Health reform will expand access to insurance for documented immigrants through new exchanges; however, many of them will be unable to afford such coverage and are not eligible for Medicaid, Sonal Ambegaokar, a health policy attorney at the National Immigration Law Center writes. She also notes that undocumented immigrants are not permitted to join insurance exchanges, nor are they able to purchase coverage with their own money.
