Fixing health care means that everyone in America should have quality, affordable health care. We all should pay our fair share and have the opportunity to purchase health insurance that we can afford. Immigrants should contribute and be able to obtain affordable health insurance just like everyone else in the U.S.

It also describes immigrant coverage under programs using exclusively state funds.
