Supreme Court Decision Creates Fear, Confusion for Millions in Need of Health Care

“Monday’s Supreme Court decision advances a policy that jeopardizes access to health care and social support services for millions including children, seniors, the disabled and those with chronic conditions,” said Carmela Coyle, President & CEO of the California Hospital Association. “California is home to millions of immigrants, all of whom need the health care we all rely on to live better, longer lives. No hospital in California will ask a person’s immigration status when they seek care, and hospitals will always be a safe haven for those in need.”
