The Impact of Immigration on Health Insurance Coverage in the United States, 1994-2006 (PDF)
Employee Benefit Research Institute [EBRI] 
Aug. 5, 2008
Pages 2-9 of 16 pages. Excerpt: One factor that has contributed to the increase in the uninsured population is immigration, which has been the focus of previous research. Earlier studies have found that immigrants are disproportionately employed in low-wage jobs, in small firms, and in service or trade occupations, jobs that are less likely to offer health benefits.8 The relative lack of employment-based coverage is compounded by the fact that the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) of 1996 imposed a five-year ban on receipt of health and other public programs by most newly arrived legal immigrants.
