New Hampshire: No Health Services for Undocumented

A group of StateHouse Republicans advocating immigration reforms has proposed a newresponsibility for the New Hampshire Health and Human Services Department:prohibiting services to undocumented immigrants, except for emergency medical care.

A healthdepartment spokesman said under the state’s Medicaid program, the departmentestimated that it spent about $244,000 over the last several years on non-U.S.citizens seeking such services, but that amount covered other groups besidesundocumented workers.
