VIDEO: In Arizona, A Latino Family Fighting Against All Odds “Axel Caballero from Cuéntame”


Dear Carmen,
The Moreno family knows first-hand what it means to fight against all odds in order to keep their family together. Living in Arizona, the emblematic state best known for its harsh stances on immigration and Latino educational culture, has been a challenge in it of itself.
Watch this powerful and honest conversation!
Honest and direct the Moreno family tell us their powerful story. One which is already changing paradigms and perspectives – from their conservative community to the entire nation. Today, Cuéntame’s video of the Moreno Family is the front page of The Huffington Post Latino Voices.
Their conversation is direct, funny, emotional, challenging yet hopeful and ultimately inspirational. The Moreno family is a perfect example of how an honest conversation changes the family dynamic – for the better.
Join in the conversation by sharing this video!

Yours, Axel Caballero and the Cuéntame team.

Discrimina​tory Health Insurance Practices Cost Women $1 Billion a Year … Judy Waxman, National Women’s Law Center


National Women's Law Center - I Will Not Be Denied: Protect Women's Health Care
 
 
Yes, really: insurance companies CAN charge women higher premiums than men for the same insurance plans, to the tune of $1 billion per year. But thanks to the health care law, this discriminatory practice is on its way out.
I Will Not Be Denied: Protect Women's Health CareHave you watched our video about how the health care law is helping women and their families and what’s at stake without the law? After you watch it — make sure to share it with your family, friends, and co-workers.
Today, as the Supreme Court began three days of arguments about the health care law, there is one argument that has already been won: the health care law is helping women and their families across the country.
Thanks to the health care law, over 100 million Americans no longer face limits on the amount of their health care insurers will cover over their lifetime; over twenty million women have received at least one preventive health care service without a co-pay in the past year. Thanks to the ACA, over two million young adults under 26 years old have kept health coverage because they could stay on their parents’ plans.
And this is just the beginning. You can’t argue with the facts.
Share our video today about how we are benefiting from the health care law and help your friends and family see what’s at stake for women if the law goes away.
Thanks for everything you do for women and their families.
Sincerely,
