Two new studies claim that US immigration is beneficial for health care funding. Research released by bipartisan group New American Economy, found that immigrants contribute more to Medicare and private insurance than is spent on them. The two new reports analyzed immigrants and health care finances at a time when immigration remains a hot political issue.
It was noted that the reasons behind the findings were ‘complex’, but generally it was found that immigrants tend to be younger and healthier, on average, compared to the general US population. Meanwhile, they are paying into health care funding systems via payroll taxes and insurance premiums, but using fewer health care services, according to the reports.
