Reviews for Navigating the Cultures of Health Care and Health Insurance: Highly Skilled Migrants in the U.S.

'Highlights the importance of health research in the field of immigration' Journal of Economic Literature 'this book provides a novel set of findings and a main argument that will undoubtedly be of interest for public health and health-care policymakers and medical anthropologists and sociologists.' Sociology of Health and Illness 'Readers will gain insights warning them against assumptions that educational, economic, and employment status translate to ease of health-care system use within the complex US system' CHOICE
