Nation's largest network of Hispanic health advocates is committed to achieving meaningful health care reform in 2009
WASHINGTON, March 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "We have work to do to cover the uninsured, improve access for the underinsured, and make sure that once someone has access it is to the type of services they need for their health," said Dr. Jane L. Delgado, President and CEO of the National Alliance for Hispanic Health, the nation's leading Hispanic health advocacy group. "Health reform must no longer be a dream deferred. America's families facing strained household budgets cannot wait another year for the peace of mind brought by access to quality health care."
According to Dr. Delgado, one in three Hispanics (34%) are uninsured and the economic crisis is increasing the number of families that must go without insurance. "There was a clear sense of urgency in today's White House Summit to act on the common ground we have to achieve access and improve quality of health care," commented Dr. Delgado after participating in today's health care reform summit convened by President Obama.
"The recently enacted State Children's Health Insurance Program expansion will cover approximately 2 million uninsured Hispanic children and stimulus support for Medicaid, insurance payments for the uninsured, and expanded community services are important down payments on health reform. Now it is time to get the rest of the job done on access and quality. The entire Alliance network is committed to working with Congress and the President to enact meaningful health reform in 2009," concluded Dr. Delgado.
