The Worst of Health: Law and Policy at the Intersection of Health & Immigration	2019	23	.pdf	application/pdf	11134	608	54	Meanwhile the Administration has proposed new proposed public charge regulations, which if promulgated, may cause millions of lawfully present immigrants to forego a broad array of programs that support health, including Medicaid and food stamps.9 All of these incidents, and many more, illustrate that when nativist immigration policy meets health law, health policy and public health tend to suffer.10 The health care system covers fewer people, while becoming costlier and less efficient.11 Public health is also jeopardized as punitive and futile efforts to keep diseases out by excluding or punishing newcomers replace evidence-based public health solutions.12 More subtly, when immigration and health policy meet, we lose sight of why the health policy exists in the first place is lost.13 This essay explores these issues, examining why and how laws and policies at the intersection of health and immigration are frequently problematic for both health policy and public health.	cache/ihlr-23296.pdf	txt/ihlr-23296.txt
