The Week: Immigrants will reportedly soon have to prove they can afford health care when applying for U.S. visa
In what is considered the Trump administration’s latest attempt to curb immigration to the United States, the White House issued a proclamation Friday saying it would require immigrants applying for a U.S. visa to prove they either have health insurance or can afford to cover their own health care costs before entering the country starting Nov. 3.
This could impact hundreds of thousands of immigrants.
Health insurance is hard enough for immigrants to access in this county; it's hard enough for citizens too. Our healthcare system is shot and the Trump Administration knows this. This is another economic and racist attack on a community who deserves healthcare in the first place. https://t.co/diCfPMf6py
