Obamacare's headache for Hispanic community

Article by Daniel Garza. Daniel Garza is executive director of the LIBRE Initiative.

"Because the law imposes so many expensive mandates and regulations on health insurance, the most affordable health care plans no longer include the large networks that give us the most choice.

For Hispanics, this limits our already-strained access to the doctors we want and worsens our culture's chronic doctor shortages.
But this isn't even the worst of the Affordable Care Act's problems. Despite what we were promised, the ACA is surprisingly unaffordable. Obamacare will simply be too expensive for many Hispanics.

The problem for us stems from the law's over-reliance on the young. This directly affects the Hispanic-American community because we are significantly younger than the average American. In fact, our median age is 27 — the age that's most severely harmed by the ACA's premium increases."

"the average 27-year-old's health care premium has spiked by 125% for men and 78% for women in Wisconsin since Obamacare took effect."

"The broken website makes a mockery of the Spanish language."
