Here’s your “free” healthcare, now vote Democrat.
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said Tuesday that 8 in 10 Hispanic Americans may qualify for government-funded health insurance or financial assistance to pay for private plans on Obamacare markets.
That percentage would jump to 95 percent if every state decided to expand Medicaid coverage under the Affordable Care Act, according to a report by the Department of Health and Human Services.
The report on health care access among Hispanics is part of the administration’s push to get segments of the population — young people, women and minorities among them — to apply to state-based health exchanges with little more than six weeks left to sign up. The health overhaul’s open enrollment period began Oct. and ends on March 31.
“The health care law addresses longstanding inequalities that have affected minority communities across the nation, including lack of access to affordable health insurance coverage,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
