A new Field Poll has found two-thirds of Asian Americans in California say they need more information on the Affordable Care Act, reports India West.
That spikes to 82 percent when non-English speaking Asians are polled.
“There is a big information gap that needs to be filled,” noted Mark diCamillo, director of the Field Poll
The Affordable Care Act provides subsidized health care for those who cannot afford health insurance and others who meet certain income qualifications. Health insurance is now mandatory under the law. The deadline is March 31, but you must sign up by December 15 if you’d like to be insured by January 1.
In the Indian American community, the South Asian Network in Southern California is providing information in Hindi, Urdu, Bangla, Punjabi and Gujarati.
