We bring you 5 aspects that will help you make better decisions about how you can benefit from an array of health services in USA. Remember quality, longer life is possible when you engage in health seeking practices. At BayHeal, we emphasize diet, play and mental health.
The United States of America's CDC has information on immigrant health. It is not just a collection of reports but guidance for all service providers. Our editors bring some resources on immigrant health in USA. By immigrant we mean: refugees, undocumented persons in USA, asylum seekers and visitors. For more information, see link below:

Bay Heal will bring you State-level or Community based health service points and venues through a compiled key or desk review or a diary. As much as possible try getting individual mandate, an employer mandate, expansion of publicly funded insurance, or a combination of these. Remember Insurance policies affect immigrants’ health care experiences and, subsequently, their health status.
There are implications for access, quality, and cost of care for immigrants. For more on this:

As an immigrant ensure you get in the employable bracket please. The employment rate (the percentage of the population that has a job) is a far better indicator of the health of the economy than the unemployment rate (the % of those seeking jobs that don’t have one). People with jobs are what supports the economy and the mere fact that someone removes themselves from the workforce does not make the economy healthier. In fact, the percentage of the population that is not in the labor force is at its highest level in 36 years. In both January and February 2015, the seasonally unadjusted labor force participation rate was 62.5%. That means that 37.5% were not participating in the labor force[2]. The last time the labor force participation rate sunk to these levels was in 1978, when it was 62.8%. for more on this, the link below will throw more light on the subject:
