Undocumented aliens concentrated in metropolitan areas and certain Sunbelt states can financially burden local health agencies and may interfere with access to health care for indigent populations that are legally resident. Data collected from Jackson Memorial Hospital, which provides the bulk of indigent medical services in Dade County, Florida, are used to investigate the problem of providing uncompensated care to undocumented aliens. Policy alternatives concerning immigration issues and reimbursement are discussed.
