This book aims to challenge this assumption by analysing the experiences and expectations of foreign-born skilled professionals with the US health care and health insurance systems, focusing on structural and functional discrepancies within health care and health insurance. In the framework of an ethnographic study based in Washington, DC, a highly modern, international metropolitan area with a large population of foreign professionals, three groups of migrants and their assimilation into US health care and insurance are compared and contrasted: German nationals, who are migrating from one Western industrial country to another; Japanese nationals, who represent migrants from a non-Western but industrial country; and Indian nationals, who come from the so-called ‘developing world’. The results of this ethnographic study set out to show that the experiences of these groups should not be viewed in opposition to those of other immigrant groups, but rather act as indicators of remaining barriers for all immigrant groups and other newcomers to the US health care and health insurance systems.
