This article is a study that compares the national trends in public spending for health care of adult naturalized citizens and immigrant non-citizens relative to U.S. natives. It does not attempt to directly measure health care expenditures for undocumented immigrants. It includes the study data and methods, data sources, study limitations, and study findings including, the findings for total health care spending, publicly funded health spending, and uncompensated care. Overall the findings concluded that immigrant expenditures were lower than expenditures for the native-born relative to their share of the population. Immigrants were less likely than native-born to use public sources of funding for health care.
