Health care services provided to detained immigrants are inadequate to provide for the needs of this population. We analyzed the medical care policies and procedures for immigrants in detention, government reports on detainee medical care, and available mortality and morbidity data. We conclude that the current system of medical care for this vulnerable population needs improvement. We suggest that a federal legislative solution is one essential component to address this issue and improve medical care. Principles to be embodied in a legislative proposal necessary to address the inadequacies in the current system are presented.
为被拘留移民提供的医疗保健服务不足以满足这一人群的需求。我们分析了针对被拘留移民的医疗保健政策和程序、政府关于被拘留者医疗保健的报告以及现有的死亡率和发病率数据。我们得出结论，当前针对这一弱势群体的医疗保健系统需要改进。我们建议，联邦立法解决方案是解决这一问题并改善医疗保健的一个重要组成部分。本文提出了旨在解决当前系统不足之处的立法提案应体现的原则。
