SUMMARY:Briefing: Latino Health and National Health Reform
DESCRIPTION:FOR REPORTERS ONLY  \nBy 2050\, the U.S. Latino population\, already the nation's largest minority group\, will triple in size and will account for most of the population growth in the U.S. over the next four decades. Hispanics will make up almost three out of every 10 people in the U.S. by 2050.  \nThis growth will have important implications for health care in the U.S.\, and for national health reform.  \nWhat health concerns do Latinos have? What diseases affect Hispanics disproportionately and what special prevention efforts are needed for this community? Will we have enough health professionals who are culturally competent to care for Latinos? How should national health reform proposals address the health needs of Hispanics? How were these needs addressed in California's recent effort at comprehensive health reform? Who should pay for the health care of undocumented immigrants who lack health coverage?  \nTo address these and related questions\, the Alliance for Health Reform and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation are sponsoring an Aug. 13 luncheon briefing for reporters only. A special focus of the briefing will be the impacts of a report to be released by the Pew Hispanic Center and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Aug. 12 on the health needs of Latinos who are in the U.S. legally and illegally.  \nAs with all of our Press Club briefings\, we will allow as much time as possible for Q&A. Interviews in Spanish will selected panelists are encouraged immediately after the close of the Q&A.  \nWHEN: Wednesday\, August 13\, 12:15 PM to 1:30 PM (Lunch available at noon) WHERE: Holeman Lounge\, National Press Club RSVP: ASAP by clicking the link below or by calling 202-789-2300 If registration reaches the venue's capacity\, registration will close before this time.  \nSPEAKERS:  \n\nSusan Minushkin\, Pew Hispanic Center \nWilliam Vega\, David Geffen School of Medicine\, UCLA \nElena Rios\, National Hispanic Medical Association \nSumi Sousa\, Office of the Speaker\, California Assembly \nEd Howard\, Alliance for Health Reform (moderator) \nDebra Joy Pérez\, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (moderator)\n\n
