1. Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, and only some lawfully present immigrants qualify subject to eligibility restrictions.

2. Immigrants under age 65 are less likely to be covered by Medicaid than their U.S.-born citizen counterparts.

3. Emergency Medicaid makes up less than 1% of total Medicaid spending. Emergency Medicaid reimburses hospitals for emergency care provided to individuals who meet other eligibility requirements but do not have an eligible immigration status. Without it, costs would shift to hospitals or states.

4. Many states have expanded Medicaid coverage for lawfully present immigrant children and pregnant people, and some have fully state-funded coverage for immigrants. Research shows that state coverage expansions for immigrants improve access to and use of health care.

5. Immigrants use less health care and have lower health care costs than people born in the U.S. Immigrants also contribute to the economy through their role in the workforce, including health care, and tax payments.
