         <description><![CDATA[<div>"The authors argue that healthcare policy makers and researchers should consider Asian Americans as members of discrete ethnic groups with unique healthcare needs. "<br><br>" In the United States, however, there is not as great a focus on parity in healthcare among all groups, as in other countries, thus leading to health disparities regarding which individuals and groups receive healthcare. Despite the public’s view of Asian Americans as the financially well-to-do ‘‘model minority,’’ the poverty rate for Asian Americans as a group is actually higher than that of Caucasians (U.S. Census Bureau, 2004b)." <br><br>" Although unemployment rates among Asian Americans are relatively low, many Asian Americans do not have health insurance. - This is because many Asian Americans work for small businesses or have multiple low-wage jobs, which typically do not offer health insurance (Takada et al., 1998). In fact, whereas approximately 26% of all Americans are covered by employer-sponsored health insurance, only 6% of Asian Americans are covered by employer-sponsored health insurance (U.S. Census Bureau, 2007)."<br><br>" Illegal Asian immigrants experience other health access problems. Due to their illegal immigrant status, most of them are not allowed to hold jobs that offer health insurance or purchase health insurance policies and do not qualify for government-sponsored insurance. To date, most of the studies on health insurance coverage focus on Asian Americans who have legal residence, thus limiting our understanding of healthcare for Asian Americans residing in the United States illegally.

(pg. 734)<br><br>" Even after adjusting for covariates, foreign-born Asian respondents were significantly more likely to report poorer access to care.
