Fear Kept Immigrants From Medicaid, and Many Cannot Return
Original: Fear Kept Immigrants Away From Medicaid. Now Many Can’t Come Back.
Reports describe how fear of immigration enforcement or public-charge penalties led many immigrant families to forgo Medicaid, even when they or their US-born children were eligible. Now, with policies shifting, many who dropped coverage find it difficult to re-enroll because of paperwork hurdles, missed renewals, and lingering distrust of government agencies.
Why now: Recent changes in immigration and health policy have reignited debate over whether immigrants are afraid to claim benefits they are legally entitled to.
