Immigration detention is the fastest-growing form of incarceration in the U.S. Numerous reports by advocacy groups and detainees themselves have alleged substandard medical care for detainees. We have undertaken an analysis of the health plan that regulates reimbursement of much of detainee health care. We conclude that this plan may place detainees at risk of receiving inadequate care, particularly if they have chronic medical problems or would benefit from routine health screening exams. We present several concrete measures that could immediately improve the level of medical care afforded to this vulnerable population.
移民拘留是美国增长最快的监禁形式。维权组织和被拘留者本人的众多报告都称，被拘留者获得的医疗护理不达标。我们对监管大部分被拘留者医疗保健报销的医保计划进行了分析。我们得出的结论是，该计划可能会使被拘留者面临获得不充分护理的风险，特别是如果他们患有慢性疾病或能从常规健康筛查检查中受益的话。我们提出了几项具体措施，可立即提高为这一弱势群体提供的医疗护理水平。
