Quick question:
How does immigration affect medical care in the US?
Legal immigration. I need answers with stuff related to cultural difference between the patient and doctor and other stuff like that. Thanks.
well, the language barrier is a problem. i do not understand chinese, russian, etc.
some cultures do not allow a woman to talk to a male stranger, they have to talk through the dominant male, thereby not all info is given.
some cultures it is taboo for a non-family male to touch a female.
and, depending on where they are from, medical records, diagnosis, immune shots, and medicines are slim to none.
health care in other countries is like non-existent, so people who come here have advanced cases and require more treatment than others. – more medication, treatment, and maybe other, more aggressive treatments that cost all of us more in the end.
also, they are given medical care no matter if they can pay or not, and are given medicare and/or medicaid even though they have not paid into the system.
this too costs us in the end
