Health-care insurance gaps affect all of us
WASHINGTON -- Maria Gomez knows firsthand the devastation that can hit
families who don't have health insurance. Gomez is chief executive of Mary's Center for Maternal and Child Care in Washington, D.C. The clinic serves Latinos who have no insurance or are underinsured. The fact that 47 million people -- 9 million children -- are uninsured has been one of the top issues in the presidential campaign. Equally troubling is this statistic: The lack of health-care coverage is most acute among Hispanics and African Americans, many of whom work in low- wage jobs without benefits or are employed by small businesses that don't offer coverage. "Things are getting worse," Gomez said. "What we are seeing is a lot of people coming in who cannot qualify for government programs." http://www.ewebhealth.cn/index.php?topic=417.0 |
