The California
Endowment and Kaiser Family Foundation
release "Health Reform Hits Main Street" Animation in Spanish. La
Reforma Del Cuidado De La Salud Llega al Público is the Spanish version
of the popular animation that explains the major provisions of the Affordable
Care Act. Written and produced by the Kaiser Family Foundation, this version
of the animated movie features narration by a partner of The Endowment, Dra.
Isabel Gomez-Bassols, psychologist and host of the Univision show "Doctora
Isabel, el Angel de la Radio." The Spanish language translation was done
with support from The Endowment. The animation was developed to inform and
educate the millions of Spanish-speakers who might be affected by provisions
in the Affordable Care Act, either now or in 2014 when health insurance
coverage expands. The English-language version can be found online.
