President Donald Trump issued a proclamation Friday that restricts the entry of immigrants to those who are covered by health insurance or demonstrate that they have the resources to pay for foreseeable medical costs
Key points:
BAL Analysis: Employers and affected foreign nationals should prepare for the new requirement. The proclamation does not apply to nonimmigrant visa applicants or those entering the U.S. by means other than an immigrant visa, including lawful permanent residents. The new requirements are likely to be challenged in court and implementation could be delayed as a result. BAL will provide updates as information becomes available.
