LULAC STATEMENT ON HHS SPANISH LANGUAGE RESOURCE HUB

Washington, DC – The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the Nation's Oldest and Largest Latino Civil Rights Organization, applauds the Biden Administration, Secretary Xavier Becerra, and the entire Health and Human Services (HHS) team for launching a Spanish language resource hub on the HHS website today.

LULAC CEO, Juan Proaño stated the following:

“Today, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced the launch of its MedicamentosBajoPrecio.gov, a Spanish language resource hub created to ensure those with Medicare are aware of all of the ways beneficiaries may evaluate and receive more information on prescription drug savings thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

Here at LULAC, we believe it is crucial that Latino communities have access to health information, especially as it relates to their wellbeing, in Spanish. HHS’s user-friendly website will be a one-stop-shop for those looking to find information regarding the drug pricing provisions outlined in the IRA, the implementation process, as well as additional resources for Medicare enrollees and other interested parties.”

LULAC Director of Research and Policy, Dr. Ray Serrano added:

“We are fiercely dedicated to addressing the significant barriers that Latinos and other marginalized groups face in the United States, and our efforts and support will always be focused on investments and partnerships that are aligned with our equitable vision to ensure opportunities for all. Today’s announcement brings us one step closer to breaking these barriers. LULAC applauds the Biden Administration, Secretary Xavier Becerra, and the entire HHS team for making this possible.”
