Many undocumented immigrants come to the U.S. seeking a better life for their children and families, but this is often not the reality. Although 61% of Hispanic immigrants report having no issues in doctor's offices or hospitals, these individuals are generally documented, speak English almost fluently, and can afford the high cost of health insurance. This leaves the remaining percentage who face significant barriers to accessing healthcare due to financial insecurity, fear of undocumented status issues, and limited English proficiency (LEP).
