Because of the Affordable Care Act. 4.2 million previously uninsured Latinos now have health insurance. An estimated 8.8 million Latinos are newly covered for expanded preventive services. with no costsharing. including mammograms. colonoscopy screenings. and immunization vaccines under the Affordable Care Act. Democrats also passed the bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill out of the Senate a couple years ago. That legislation. which House Republicans refused to consider. even though it would have passed overwhelminglyall Democrats would have voted for it and enough Republicans would have voted for it to be an overwhelming victorybut it didnt happen. The Republicans refused to consider something that protected families. reduced the deficit. and strengthened our national security. We also supported President Obamas Executive actions. which. as we speak. are protecting immigrant families from the threat of deportation and taking criminals off the streets. Meanwhile. Republicans are doing everything in their power to undermine Hispanic families. A person need only watch 5 minutes of a Republican Presidential debate to see how Republicans really feel about Americas Latino communities. Republicans are clamoring to amend the Constitution to repeal birthright citizenship. Republicans want to roll back President Obamas Executive actions that are keeping families together and preventing DREAMers from being deported. Republicans are constantly attacking the Affordable Care Act. which has covered 4.2 million previously uninsured Latinos with health insurance. Republicans refuse to boost the minimum wage. blocking millions of Latino families from earning a livable wage.
