New Orleans Now:
Immigrants, Labor Rights and the Human Cost of Rebuilding an American City - Part 3
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are more than 40 million people in the U.S. without health insurance. Those mostly affected: people with low income and people of color. Now, imagine you're both and from another country. You've come to help rebuild New Orleans and you find yourself working in unsanitary, unregulated and hazardous conditions. Where do you go for help if you get hurt or you get sick?
On this edition, part three of our immigration series, we hear from two people who have affected countless lives by providing a basic necessity: health care.
This series was made possible in part by the Open Society Institute.
