The Huffington Post, February 6, 2017: (Opinion) How Providing Health Care to Immigrants and Refugees Has Changed Since Trump Became President
“I’ve been doing this work for a very long time, and I’ve always felt that it’s a privilege to bear witness to my patients’ stories and to be their guide through the mess we call the US healthcare system. Our patients come from all over the world, many from the list of countries banned by the Trump administration. All of them make the long and often dangerous trip to the US because they want a better life for themselves and their families. I’m in awe of the courage of people who make the impossible choice to leave their homes, families and communities for the shot at something better. I’m profoundly saddened by what people are willing to sacrifice for a better life, or any life at all in the US, a country that now targets them as the enemy.”
