Foreign-born Latinos living in the United States are much less likely to spend for health care and when they do are more likely to pay out-of-pocket for heath care when compared with the white population, but, over time, that disparity shrinks for naturalized Latinos the longer they stay in the country. But, for non-citizen Latinos, the disparities on health care spending remain large over time.
