Immigrant Health Care Experiences: Trump Administration Survey

here’s a summary‍ of‍ the key findings from the ⁤provided text regarding‍ healthcare access adn⁤ concerns among immigrant populations:

Key Findings:

* Delayed/Skipped Care: Roughly three⁣ in ten (30%) immigrant parents report their ⁣child missed, skipped, ⁢or delayed health care in the past 12 months. This rate is significantly higher (58%) ⁢among ⁣likely undocumented immigrant parents, ‍with⁤ 43% citing immigration concerns as⁣ the⁣ reason.
* Barriers to Care: Lack of insurance (44%), relying solely on emergency room care (42%), and limited English proficiency (LEP) (42%) are also strongly associated with delayed or skipped care.
* Avoiding Care Due to Fear: Nearly half (48%) of likely undocumented immigrants, and ‍14% of all immigrant adults, have avoided seeking‍ medical care ⁢as January 2025 due to immigration-related fears. This is ⁤more common among uninsured immigrant adults and parents.
* Fear of Information Sharing: A majority‍ (51%) of immigrant adults are concerned about healthcare providers⁤ sharing patient information with ICE or CBP. This concern is very high (78%) among likely undocumented immigrants. The Trump administration’s attempt⁣ to share Medicaid data with DHS for immigration enforcement likely exacerbated thes fears.
* Financial Barriers: ⁤ Healthcare ⁢costs, along with the cost of basic needs like food and housing, remain important concerns for immigrant families.

In essence, ⁤the text highlights that fear⁣ of immigration enforcement and financial constraints ⁢are major obstacles to healthcare access for ⁢immigrant communities, especially those who are undocumented.
