It is the same discrimination that now still makes it difficult for so many lowincome African Americans seniorand other seniors of colorto obtain the required documentation they would need under this provision to obtain Medicaid services. Mr. Speaker. lets not be a part of allowing discrimination to create additional barriers to health care for immigrants or other Americans of color. Further. were section 3145 to pass. it will be states and counties who will determine how to enforce it and who to ask for the additional documentation. My concern is that this provision will put lowincome Americans at the mercy of individuals whose assumptions about their status put them at great risk for discrimination.
