We need to attack disparities in all their forms. 51. Pt. 14 19245 A critical first step is to see that health insurance and decent health care are available and affordable for all Americans. This bill strengthens the health care safety net by expanding access to Medicaid and the Childrens Health Insurance Program. and improving health care for Indian tribes. migrant workers. and farm workers. The bill also contains essential measures for removing cultural and linguistic barriers to good care. The United States is a Nation of immigrants. and all Americans deserve to understand what their doctor is telling them. Interpreter and translator services save money in the long run by avoiding harm when patients do not understand their diagnosis or the health advice they receive. Health care institutions deserve to be reimbursed for providing these critically needed services.
