Health care reform and the U.S.-Mexico border: Challengers and Opportunities
(2010)
Abstract
The United States-México border region is a unique, dynamic area where various cultures come together and interrelate across geopolitical boundaries. Though border residents may possess different economies and politics, they share a common culture, language, environment, and health status.
The border region poses particular challenges to the U.S. health care system: It is one of the fastest growing in the nation, with a majority Hispanic population, in addition to having lower educational attainment, lower income status, higher rates of unemployment and poverty, and a significant shortage of health care providers.
