This need led us to create the <i>Interactive Health Insurance Center<\/i> in 2013 and make modifications and improvements based on our experience with the first enrollment period of the health insurance marketplace,&#8221; said Roberto Estrada, CEO of HolaDoctor.<\/p>\n<p>The Interactive Health Insurance Center is easy to use. It provides access to the health insurance marketplace by state, as well as assistance tools such as a subsidy calculator, a glossary of key terms, a directory of community health centers and clinics in states like\u00a0California, Florida, New York, Georgia, and Colorado, and a section answering the questions most commonly asked by Hispanics with regards to health insurance and the Affordable Care Act.<\/p>\n<p>The Center is also equipped with a team of health insurance experts who are ready to offer advising services in Spanish.
