Summary: OBAMACARE IN ANY LANGUAGE. Disproportionate rates of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer have long burdened communities of color, and a lack of culturally and linguistically relevant care makes the problems worse. This edition takes a look at how the Affordable Care Act attempts to provide for interpretation and culturally appropriate care, to help breach the health gap in communities of color and border communities.
