Tapping healthcare resource by older Mexicans with diabetes: how migration to the United States facilitates access.

Jennifer J Salinas1.   

Abstract

This study employs semi-structured interviews conducted in two small migrant towns in Michoacán, Mexico to determine how older Mexicans with diabetes access healthcare and treatment. Barriers in access to healthcare services are identified as well as how family members and migration are utilized to offset these limitations. Results indicate that former migrants who were economically successful in the USA have greater options in the type of services they are able to use. In addition, residents with diabetes who have family members living in the USA receive remittances in the form of money and medical supplies that aid in the treatment of their illness. Implications for policy are discussed.
