Undocumented workers deserve health care

San Diego Union-Tribune
As if in a perfect storm, the politics of health and immigration reform have suddenly and unexpectedly clashed, creating a contentious atmosphere to debate the arguments for and against certain health reform initiatives. Within this context, as a public health advocate for underserved and vulnerable people, I believe that, as a society, we have an ethical and social responsibility to provide health care coverage to the undocumented immigrant community.
