Health Reform Hits Main Street: En Español

FILED UNDER: Reform, Health Care Reform, Latino

We’ve told you about the interactive cartoon and animation that explains how health care reform may affect you. Now the non-partisan Kaiser Family Foundation has teamed up with the equally non-partisan The California Endowment to release a Spanish-language version of the same video.

The video, “La Reforma Del Cuidado De La Salud Llega al Público,” is narrated by Isabel Gómez-Bassols, a psychologist and host of the show “Doctora Isabel, el Angel de la Radio.” While Latinos account for 16 percent of the U.S. population, here in California, they make up 38 percent of the population — and about one-third of them don’t have health insurance.
