Hola,
El resumen de esta semana trae un par de artículos que pueden ser de
interés para algunas personas de la red - particularmente en temas de
familia y de salud (si los vínculos no funcionan acá mismo, abajo van los
del mensaje original):
Citizenship and Immigration Services is proposing a change to immigration
procedures that can help prevent the separation of undocumented residents
from spouses and
children.<http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/07/us/path-to-green-card-for-illegal-immigrant-family-members-of-americans.html?emc=tnt&tntemail0=y>
A recent study conducted by researchers at Columbia University’s Mailman
School of Public Health shows links between migrating at a young age and
increased risk of psychotic
disorders<http://www.mailman.columbia.edu/news/research-migration-young-age-associated-increased-risk-psychotic-disorders>.
Potential reasons for the increased risk include the stress of minority
status, social changes, and vitamin D deficiencies that many immigrants
experience after migrating.
Saludos, mc

Your Mooring: The Human and Economic Costs of Long-Term Acute Care for
Undocumented Immigrants in the U.S. – Nora
Kenworthy<http://accessdeniedblog.wordpress.com/2012/01/16/when-the-ward-is-your-mooring-the-human-and-economic-costs-of-long-term-acute-care-for-undocumented-immigrants-in-the-u-s-nora-kenworthy/>

A recent* **New York Times* article by John
Leland<http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/02/nyregion/stuck-in-bed-for-19-months-at-hospitals-expense.html?pagewanted=all>
recounted
the lengthy medical history of Raymond Fok, an uninsured and undocumented
immigrant who ended up marooned at New York City’s Downtown Hospital for 19
months after surviving a stroke. Although suffering from chronic health
problems, including kidney failure, and initially in need of acute care,
Mr. Fok remained in the hospital long after his initial emergency because
he had no other place to go.
Without insurance or public benefits, numerous immigrants in the U.S. find
similar fates in public hospitals, learning that without chronic or
community-based services to assist them in recovery, they cannot be
discharged. Rather than qualifying for a home health aide, or getting
transferred to a nursing home, Mr. Fok’s status left him in the expensive
care of an already cash-strapped public hospital. As Leland writes: “Mr.
Fok’s immigration status never kept him from receiving treatment, but it
helped make sure that his care would be delivered in the most expensive
setting possible and in a place no one wants to spend more time than
necessary.” Read more of this
