Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) warn that repealing ObamaCare without an appropriate replacement would disproportionately hurt Latino families.
"First and foremost we need to protect and defend healthcare for the American people," Rep. Raul Ruiz (D-Calif.) told The Hill on Thursday.
House Republicans on Friday passed a measure to begin dismantling the Affordable Cart Act (ACA) through a process known as budget reconciliation, which can bypass a Senate filibuster.
Democrats are decrying the push to roll back the healthcare law, arguing there could be disastrous consequences for people with serious illnesses.
"We want to make sure that people who have diabetes, asthma, obesity no longer are discriminated against and face being denied health insurance or having to pay more health insurance," Ruiz said. "All those things we need to protect are on the chopping block with repealing the entirety of the Affordable Care Act."
Latinos have one of the highest rates of diabetes, asthma and obesity, and benefited disproportionately from a clause in the healthcare law banning denial of coverage due to preexisting conditions.

Any problems that arise are CAUSED BY this stupid law, so that’s not a reason to keep it.

Repealing it will probably impact the illegals that California put on Obamacare.
maybe they should offer them their own health care plan or better, drop theirs and accept what their people have to deal with

Many Hispanics will believe what ever the demodummies tell them, UNLESS they have already seen through the demodummy screen of lies. There are many already “educated” Hispanics who now see the light.
