Immigrant Communities Standing Together for Inclusive Health Reform
On Nov. 23, immigrant communities organized two events in San Francisco, CA and Washington, D.C. to draw attention to how millions of Americans are being shut out of health reform, despite their undisputed contributions to supporting this country’s economy and public health care systems.
“What we want is simple: everyone living and working hard in this country must have full access to affordable health insurance.
