by Mark Hugo Lopez and Paul Taylor

Latinos voted for President Barack Obama over Republican Mitt Romney by 71% to 27%, according to an analysis of exit polls by the Pew Hispanic Center, a Project of the Pew Research Center.1

    It’s important to know that this new law will help and affect many of those latinos who voted for the President in the past election.

    We must be ready for the major changes that are about to hit the Healthcare Industry…

    Buena Suerte.
