Does Universal Coverage Drive Immigration?

The video discusses a study examining the impact of healthcare coverage on immigration rates. It explores the theory that expanding public health insurance might increase immigration, particularly among low-income legal permanent residents. The study, using data from 2000 to 2016, found no significant increase in immigration rates due to expanded coverage. Immigrants tend to move for labor market reasons rather than public benefits. The video highlights that immigrants contribute significantly to the economy and often seek government help reluctantly, focusing on family and community contributions.
