Why Do Latinos Have So Little Employer-Sponsored Insurance - Len M. Nichlols with James Rechovsky and Jack Hadley
Publications Thursday, November 1st, 2007Highlight:
In a report released earlier this month in the health care journal Inquiry, researchers found that many Spanish-speaking Latinos are in low-wage jobs that don’t offer health insurance plans. For those whose companies offer a plan, the report, entitled, “Why do Latinos Have So Little Employer-Sponsored Health Insurance,” found the cost of premiums to be a deterrent. Len Nichols, director of the Health Policy Program at the Washington, D.C.-based New America Foundation and a co-author of the report, said a higher priority for them is to be able to send money home.
