Policy Analysis |
| Program/Policy Description | The project is designed to assess the effects of welfare reform on legal immigrants' access to health care. With fiscal cutbacks and changes to the immigrant policy, California's immigrant population is not accessing entitled health benefits. Immigrant children and families are continuing to lack health insurance. Welfare reform in general is having serious ramifications on the California Health Agenda. Those coming off welfare and going into work are not being provided with adequate health coverage. Latino Issues Forum wishes to publish a series of briefs looking at welfare reform 2 years after TANF implementation and the status of the immigrant community. |
