La Raza: Vote no on ObamaCare

The nation’s largest Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization has announced it will oppose the health care bill being considered by Congress unless major changes are made during reconciliation, presenting a potentially damaging late-stage obstacle to the bill’s passage…

“[NCLR] believes in supporting efforts that address the concerns; the House bill did this, the Senate bill did not,” said Jennifer Ng’andu, Deputy Director of the Health Policy Project. “We supported the House bill. It contained rigorous safeguards that would extend access to health care to all U.S. residents while preventing unauthorized workers from receiving taxpayer-funded subsidies. The spirit of the bill worked to ensure access to coverage for vulnerable, eligible families and children, and it was a health reform plan worthy of our support. We cannot say the same for the Senate bill, nor can we support reconciliation if the health care reform proposal remains unchanged.”
