    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on a study concerning the eligibility for government insurance of immigrants in the U.S. if the immigrant provisions of the Welfare Reform Act are repealed. An analysis of data from the March 1999 and 2000 Current Population Surveys was conducted to estimate the number of uninsured children barred from Medicaid and SCHIP programs and number of parents who would be excluded from government insurance expansion programs because of the immigrant provisions of the Welfare Reform Act.
