Review of ‘Immigrant youth access to health care’


Min did a great job reporting on a very important aspect of the new health care bill, the omission of coverage for undocumented immigrants. Her voicing is smooth and her writing flows in and out of the quotes well. It added a lot of credibility that she talked to an expert who works with new immigrants on health care insurance issues. The only two things I would say is that the scenes where she talks to those affected could have been developed more; it felt like just a few more words about each person could have given the listener a better picture of who they were. It also might have been good to get the point of view of someone who is against granting health care to undocumented immigrants, as this is a very hot topic of debate right now. Overall though, the piece was concise, specific and well-written.
