Claim: Expenditures on healthcare for undocumented immigrants in the United States are overall less than U.S. citizens, raising questions about the accessibility of insurance and healthcare for immigrants.
Evidence: While there is less information available on illegal immigrants, research shows that immigrants have substantially lower overall healthcare expenditures than U.S.-born persons. These lower expenditures have raised a number of questions about the accessibility of health care services and insurance to both documented and undocumented immigrants.
