HF Applauds Supreme Court Decision on Affordable Care Act

“The Hispanic Federation commends the Supreme Court for upholding President Obama’s Affordable Care Act.  This historic court decision ensures millions of Latino families will be able to access vital health coverage and preventative care regardless of pre-existing conditions.  Moving forward, people living with chronic illness will no longer face limits on coverage and women will have greater access to preventative services.  It is now time to move past the debate – the Affordable Care Act is law and has been upheld by the highest court in the land.  In the coming days and months, we must shift our attention to educating our communities on health coverage options and benefits, and working with states to ensure comprehensive health coverage is afforded to all Americans through the full and efficient implementation of this law,” stated José Calderón, President of the Hispanic Federation.
