Resumen
HORTON, SARAH. EL TRATAMIENTO DIFERENCIAL DE LOS INMIGRANTES CUBANOS Y MEXICANOS EN EL SISTEMA DE SALUD PÚBLICA DE ESTADOS UNIDOS. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2004, vol.40, pp.61-84. ISSN 0486-6525.
THIS PAPER EXAMINES THE PARTICIPATION OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IN a broader societal construction of Mexican immigrants as undeserving of public health benefits. I show that financial shortfalls due to the implementation of Medicaid managed care (MMC) in a public hospital in New Mexico led the Hospital to devise further categories of "undeserving" subjects in order to ration care. Such policies-predicated upon a neoliberal assessment of immigrants' perceived self-reliance-teach Mexican immigrants that they are "second-class citizens" and have profound consequences for their health status as well.
