| Los hispanos son menos propensos que los no-hispanos a tener acceso a un seguro médico provisto por el empleador, por lo tanto, programas de cobertura de salud pública como lo son Medicaid y el State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), son indispensables para las familias latinas que de otra forma permanecerían sin seguro médico. Medicaid y SCHIP conectan a casi diez millones de latinos -- de los cuales dos tercios son niños – con servicios de salud asequibles que son esenciales para mantener una buena salud. Esta hoja de datos indica que el programa de Medicaid será más importante que nunca para que las familias latinas de bajos recursos puedan enfrentar situaciones económicas desfavorables sin que les afecte la salud o su sitación financiera. |

| Hispanics are less likely than non-Hispanics to have access to traditional health insurance through the workplace, so public health coverage programs, such as Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), are critical for Latino families who would otherwise go uninsured. Medicaid and SCHIP connect nearly ten million Latinos – two-thirds of whom are children – with affordable health care services that are essential to maintaining good health outcomes. This fact sheet indicates that Medicaid will be more important than ever to low-income Latino families’ ability to weather an economic downturn without compromising their health or their finances. |
