HEALTH EQUITY NOW. April is National Minority Health Month and this year’s theme is “Health Equity Can’t Wait. Act Now in Your CommUNITY!” The White House says this is about achieving “a nation free of health and healthcare disparities,” where minorities have health insurance, can see a doctor from their own community, get sick less from preventable diseases, and where women pay the same amount for health services as men. How will this be achieved? And how does the healthcare reform law, the Affordable Care Act, help to insure and fight chronic diseases of Latinos?
