LIVE Webcast: Today's Topics In Health Disparities Immigration and Health Care: What are the Policy Choices?
Wednesday, March 12, 2008 at 3:00 p.m. ET
Immigration and health care rank among the top issues for voters in the 2008 presidential election. On Wednesday, March 12, at 3 p.m., the Kaiser Family Foundation's live, interactive webcast series, Today's Topics In Health Disparities, will explore “Immigration and Health Care: What are the Policy Choices?”
The webcast will examine the influence that immigration policies have on federal and state decisions about access to health care and coverage. The panel will focus on questions such as: How is the immigrant population defined in the U.S.? What are the health coverage and access to care challenges facing legal and undocumented immigrants? How have states, local governments and health providers differed in their approaches to addressing the health care needs of recent immigrants? What impact will these decisions have on racial/ethnic health disparities? Submit questions for the panel to TodaysTopics@kaisernetwork.org.
