Ensuring Health Access and Equity for Immigrant AAPI Women

For nearly two decades, a complicated web of federal and state policies has created significant barriers to accessing health insurance coverage for millions of immigrants in the United States. These policies disproportionately impact the most vulnerable members of society, including low-income women, women of color, and children. Exclusion from access to comprehensive health coverage has serious negative implications for immigrant Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) women and can interfere with their ability to contribute effectively to society.
