Literature Review: Nutrition Education, Promotoras, & the Latino/a PopulationRocio Gonzalez
The purpose of this literature review is to evaluate the research exploring the utilization of culturally sensitive nutrition education, specifically studies incorporating promotoras (community health workers) among Latino populations in the U.S. Due to the high prevalence of obesity and its associated diseases among Latinos, there is an urgency to identify interventions that successfully incorporate culturally sensitive interventions in order to better communicate with these individuals.

Minorities such as the Hispanic population are having to deal with chronic conditions without the ability to access healthcare. They lack healthcare access because they are unable to afford a healthcare plan nor are they able to pay for doctor visits. In addition, they are unable to afford their daily medications that are needed to help control their health conditions. Many of the low-income Hispanics on average have an income of less than 25, 000 per year. They are financially unstable and worried about their finances. Because of this low income, they are unable to afford the costs associated with their illnesses leading to a lack of follow-up visits, lack of adherence to the medication regimen and many simply do not see a doctor. For the Hispanic population, diabetes is the most common chronic health condition affecting their family (Saulsberry, Blendon, & Benson, 2016).
A program that has helped many people in the United States to obtain healthcare coverage is the Affordable Care Act. When ACA was signed into law in 2010, it allowed for the largest number of people to obtain coverage in fifty years (Sommers, Maylone, Blendon, Orav & Epstein, 2017). Because of ACA, there have been increased primary care visits, improved blood pressure control and PAP testing rates. Under the healthcare law, healthcare companies cannot refuse to insure people with pre-existing conditions. People with pre-existing chronic conditions have the most to gain because they are covered and will not be denied care. ACA has provided medical adherence, open communication with healthcare providers and it has improved access to healthcare and services to low income Hispanic communities. I hope that ACA continues to be a law, one providing better healthcare and access to all in the United States.

Medi-Cal According to the California Department of Health Care.docxARIV4
Medi-Cal
According to the California Department of Health Care Services (DHHS) Medi-Cal qualification website, a family of two can qualify for Medi-Cal if their annual income is below 138% of the federal poverty level which is $22,108 (California Department of Health Care Services, 2016). An individual can also qualify for Medi-Cal if they are: 65 or older; blind; disabled; under 21; pregnant; in a skilled nursing or intermediate care home; on refugee status for a limited time, depending on how long they have been in the United States; breast cancer cervical cancer patients who qualify under the Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Program (California Department of Health Care Services, 2016); and/or a parent or caretaker relative of a child under 21 if the child's parent is deceased or doesn't live with the child, or the child's parent is incapacitated, or the child's parent is under employed or unemployed. Medi-Cal is also available to individuals who are enrolled in CalFresh, SSI/SSP, CalWorks (AFDC), Refugee Assistance, and/or the Foster Care or Adoption Assistance Program.
Applications for Medi-Cal can be made on the Covered California website (Covered California, 2016). Applications may also be filed in person at local county human services agencies (California Department of Health Care Services, 2016). Covered California gives a description of who’s eligible for Medi-Cal on their website that concisely summarizes the verbiage on the DHHS site: “Medi-Cal covers low-income adults, families with children, seniors, persons with disabilities, children in foster care as well as former foster youth up to age 26, and pregnant women” (Covered California, 2016).
According to California Health Advocates, the male spouse in the case would be considered for Medi-Cal under the Medi-Cal for individuals with Medicare program known as “dual eligibles” or “Medi-Medis” because he is 72 years of age (California Health Advocates, 2016). For a couple, the asset limitation is $3000 excluding the primary home, one vehicle, household goods and personal belongings, a life-insurance policy with a face value of $1,500 per person, a prepaid burial plan (unlimited if irrevocable or up to $1,500 if revocable) and burial plot. Various Medi-Cal programs are available to Medicare eligible individuals as shown in the table below from California Health Advocates (California Health Advocates, 2016).

New CDC data find that 1 in 7 people in 2018 reported trouble with paying medical bills, a figure that represents a dip since 2011. Here’s more:
•Overall trends: In 2011, nearly 20% of people reported having trouble with medical bills in the year prior to being surveyed, but that dropped to 14% of respondents in 2018.
•Demographics: Females, Black individuals, and those aged 17 and under were most likely to be in families who had trouble paying bills.
•Insurance status: Those under the age of 65 who were uninsured had the most difficulty with health bills. Those aged 65-74 were most likely to report trouble paying bills if they had both Medicare and Medicaid. Among the oldest adults — ages 75 and older — having Medicare only was associated with medical billing problems.

IHS is the primary vehicle through which
the federal government provides health
services to AIANs.
IHS has historically been underfunded to
met the health care needs of AIANs.
Enrolling AIANs in health coverage, including
Medicaid or Marketplace coverage, expands their
access to services and increases revenues to IHS
and Tribal facilities.
