With the election just around the corner, Commonwealth Fund President Joseph Betancourt, M.D., considers what's at stake for Latino health on To the Point.
In his essay, originally published in Spanish by El Tiempo Latino and El Planeta, Dr. Betancourt draws upon his decades as a primary care doctor treating a diverse group of patients as well as his experience as a health system leader. He writes about how policies implemented by the president and Congress — whether it’s different approaches to Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, women’s health, or health equity — could impact Latinos and their families, and all Americans who share the same hopes for health, happiness, and a promising future.
“Our November 5th elections will impact the future of those dreams for all generations to come, and the facts matter,” says Betancourt.
