Court Decision Right for America; Time for All States to Expand Medicaid


WASHINGTON, June 25, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — “Millions have enrolled in health plans believing in the full faith and credit of the government’s promise of a subsidy. Today, the Supreme Court affirmed that faith and provided a greater sense of security for American family budgets. But, the job is far from done. Another 4 million persons, including about 1 million Hispanics, would have coverage today if all States had expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. The majority of those left behind are workers who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid but are still below the poverty level. Now is the time for Congress and States to find the solution that fulfills the promise of coverage for these hard working individuals and families,” said Dr. Jane L. Delgado, President and CEO of the National Alliance for Hispanic Health, the nation’s leading Hispanic health advocacy group.
