Hit by federal budget cuts, immigrant families in Colorado have had difficulty accessing health coverage.

Meanwhile, those with work permits will have to pay higher premiums and could be excluded in 2027. Jesús Sánchez Melean spoke with people affected and experts, and reports on their concerns from Denver.
