Abstract
Over time, populations of undocumented emigrants have increased fleetly across the world, estimated at 30 to 40 million people. They contribute to profitable progress and substance in both fiscal and non-economic ways but due to their migration status, numerous developed countries have declared colorful programs that limit access to health services that lead to dangerous detainments in care, increased severe care application, and poor health issues. This study examines the relative healthcare programs for undocumented migrants in the United States, Canada, and Germany and explores that this indigenous community is barred from civil healthcare programs like Medicaid and Medicare in the US. Yet, they’re allowed to buy private healthcare. In Germany, they aren’t generally eligible for free medical care because they aren’t ensured. Also, though Canada has declared universal healthcare, undocumented immigrants are barred from healthcare and social services and healthcare is sometimes available through community health centers. The finding of the study largely confirms that the ideological position of the political parties significantly influences healthcare programs for undocumented immigrants. In the end, the paper suggests some promising guidelines for addressing the most pivotal health requirement for this community in the light of social work research, knowledge, and education.
