On a press call and webinar held this morning, Latino Decisions presented the findings of its groundbreaking national poll on Latinos’ health, experiences with the changing healthcare marketplace, and outlook on immigration and racial issues. …
Gabriel Sanchez, PhD, Executive Director of the RWJF Center for Health Policy at the University of New Mexico and Director of Research at Latino Decisions, said, “This new survey provides an important overview of the Affordable Care Act’s impact on the Latino population after two years of open enrollment. We find that 82% of Latinos currently have health insurance, which is the highest rate of coverage we have recorded since we began polling in this area back in 2008. That said, many Latinos reported experiencing problems while attempting to enroll through the state and federal exchanges, and a sizable percentage of Latinos also indicated that they did not enroll in health care due to the costs.” CONT.
