Trump gutting protected status for immigrants will strain US healthcare, Democrats warn

Trump gutting protected status for immigrants will strain US healthcare, Democrats warn

The article discusses the potential impact of the Trump administration's decision to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for nearly one million US immigrants on the healthcare system. Over 100 members of Congress have warned that this move could result in significant staff losses that healthcare facilities will struggle to replace, creating a "perfect storm" for the already strained system. TPS has granted work authorization and legal protection to around 570,000 US workers, and the article suggests that the loss of this status could exacerbate the existing pressures on the healthcare workforce. The article emphasizes the concerns raised by lawmakers about the potential consequences of this policy change on the healthcare sector.
