Published October 10, 2024

While not in the spotlight, health care reform is important, so the Harris-Walz Democratic presidential campaign launched a series of ads highlighting its efforts to reduce costs and publicize the risks to Obamacare protections and the effect it would have on Latinos, especially in light of statements by Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, who have commented that their health care policy seeks to increase costs for people with pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes and also take away insurance from millions of Americans.

The Democratic campaign recalls that Trump tried unsuccessfully to repeal Obamacare, during the first year of his term.

Fabiola Rodriguez, Deputy Director of Hispanic Media for the Harris for President Campaign, comments that the Harris-Walz Democrats seek to protect the health coverage rights of Latinos.

Fabiola Rodriguez, Deputy Director of Hispanic Media for the Harris for President Campaign, warns that if Trump were to win the presidency he would make good on his threat and 4 million Latinos could lose their health care plan.

She recalled that during the current Biden-Harris administration, costs and access to insulin for the treatment of diabetes, a condition that has a high incidence among our Latino community, were lowered.

On the issue of abortion, she says Trump rejects women having reproductive health care, while Harris fights for women to keep their rights.

Fabiola Rodriguez, Deputy Director of Hispanic Media for the Harris for President Campaign, says the Democratic campaign seeks to maintain health coverage for the low-income and Latino community.

Vice President Harris has announced that she wants to extend this plan, now that many could lose the resources because the deadline to continue the subsidies is expiring, let’s hear from Fabiola Rodriguez.

Fabiola Rodriguez, Deputy Director of Hispanic Media for the Harris for President Campaign, recalls that the Vice President has proposed to take advantage of the law’s provisions to reduce inflation by making the expanded subsidies for affordable health coverage permanent.
