PIVOT Applauds the Third and Latest Supreme Court Decision to Uphold the Affordable Care Act
/June 18, 2021
PIVOT applauds the third and latest Supreme Court decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act (ACA), protecting all Americans' access to health care. Before the ACA, over a quarter of Vietnamese community members did not have health insurance—that dropped 63% so that nine in ten Vietnamese Americans from all class backgrounds now have health care access. This is a win for mothers like Linh’s who worked her whole life but was left without health care after her daughter aged out of Medicaid. This is a win for young college students like Long who has one less expense to worry about. This is a win for everyday Vietnamese Americans trying to make ends meet. While the health and vibrancy of our communities requires further investments in language access and cultural competency, the ACA plays a critical role in closing the health care access gaps our communities face.
