Gastón Speaker Series presents

"No One Asked Me": Latinos' experiences with Massachusetts Health Care Reform

Dr. Dharma E. Cortés, Senior Research Associate of the Institute will present findings from a qualitative study that examined the personal experiences and financial impact of the 2006 Massachusetts Health Care Reform law (Chapter 58 of the Acts of 2006) among low-income Latinos. This research project was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Findings provide important insights and recommendations for future implementation of a national health reform as it pertains to the enrollment of Latino patients and to the organizations, health care providers, and advocates that serve them.
