Introduction
The National Alliance for Hispanic Health is the premier science-based and community-driven organization that focuses on improving the health and well-being of Hispanics and works with others to secure health for all. Community-based members provide services to more than 15 million Hispanic consumers throughout the U.S. every year and national organization members provide services to more than 100 million annually. The Alliance works to insure that health incorporates the best of science, culture, and community by listening to the individual, investing in leading community based organizations, working with national partners, examining and improving the resources and systems available, and designing solutions to make health a part of each person’s life. The Alliance continually works to improve the quality of care and its availability to all. …show more content…
In the 2011 National Health Interview Survey, 29 percent of Hispanics lacked health insurance coverage, as compared with 11 percent of Caucasians and 17 percent of African Americans. While the Affordable Care Act (ACA) appears to be accomplishing its goal of increasing the percentage of Americans with health insurance coverage, Hispanics remain the subgroup most likely to lack health insurance. This project targets uninsured Hispanic individuals across the country, specifically non-English speaking populations. It seeks to eliminate health disparities in Hispanic communities through the provision of: assistance to Hispanics on health insurance plan eligibility determinations, timely and accurate information on enrollment opportunities, and guidance on the application preparation and submission processes for Qualified Health Plans (QHPs), Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), or Medicaid
