Ua alo aku nā kaiāulu Hispanic a me Latino o Colorado i nā pilikia olakino kūʻokoʻa i ka wā o ka maʻi maʻi, kahi e hana nei ʻo Colorado Access e hōʻike a me ka ʻōlelo.

DENVER – He 22% ka nui o ka heluna kanaka o ka moku'āina ma Colorado's Hispanic/Latino (ka lua o ka heluna kanaka nui ma hope o ke keʻokeʻo/non-Hispanic) a he nui naʻe nā pono i hoʻokō ʻole ʻia i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka mālama ola kino a me ka nohona. I loko o ka maʻi maʻi āpau, ua alo kēia kaiāulu i nā hopena olakino a me ka hoʻokele waiwai, me ka nui o ka pilikia o ka maʻi COVID-19, ka hale hoʻokipa a me ka make, ma mua o nā ʻAmelika keʻokeʻo non-Hispanic (kahi). ʻO Access Access, ka papahana olakino Medicaid nui loa o ka mokuʻāina, ua hoʻomohala i kekahi mau hoʻolālā kikoʻī e hoʻomaka ana e hoʻoponopono i ʻelua mau wahi ʻeha i ʻike ʻia me kēia pūʻulu: ka nele o nā mea hoʻolako ʻōlelo Paniolo a me ka helu haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa e kūʻē iā COVID-19.

Nā lawelawe a La Raza, he mea hoʻolako i ʻaelike me Colorado Access, ʻo ia kekahi o nā hui liʻiliʻi ma Colorado e hāʻawi i nā lawelawe moʻomeheu i ka poʻe ʻōlelo Paniolo ma kā lākou ʻōlelo maoli (me ka hoʻohana ʻole ʻana i kahi lawelawe unuhi). Ma muli o kēia, ua loaʻa i kā lākou hui ma kahi o 1,500 mau nīnau hou mai nā lālā kaiāulu e ʻimi nei i ka mālama i ka makahiki i hala.

"Hele mai ka poʻe iā mākou no ka mea ʻaʻole lākou e ʻoluʻolu ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe," wahi a Fabian Ortega, ka luna hoʻomalu ma Servicios de La Raza. "Ke ʻimi nei kā mākou poʻe kaiāulu e hui pū me nā mea lapaʻau e like me lākou a ua ola i kekahi o nā ʻike like."

No ke kōkua ʻana i nā poʻe hou aʻe e loaʻa kēia mālama moʻomeheu, ua hāʻawi ʻo Colorado Access i ke kālā piha no nā limahana ʻōlelo Paniolo ʻelua e kākoʻo iā Servicios de La Raza no kahi manawa ʻelua makahiki. E kau ʻia kekahi o nā kūlana i ke kōkua ʻana i nā poʻe i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma mua a ʻo kekahi e hāʻawi i nā lawelawe i nā lālā Medicaid ma ka wahi metro Denver.

I ʻAukake 2021, ua kau ʻo Colorado Access i ka manaʻo hou i ka hōʻemi ʻana i nā ʻokoʻa ma waena o ke kaiāulu Hispanic/Latino a me nā hui lāhui a me nā lāhui ʻē aʻe ma muli o nā pale i ʻike ʻia e kēia heluna a me nā ʻokoʻa i hōʻike ʻia i kāna ʻikepili kano. Wahi a ʻikepili CDPHE (i loaʻa iā Malaki 8, 2022), ʻo kēia heluna kanaka ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa loa o ka lāʻau lapaʻau o kēlā me kēia lāhui / lāhui ma 39.35%. ʻOi wale nō kēia ma luna o ka hapalua o ka nui o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana o ka heluna kanaka keʻokeʻo/non-Hepanika o Colorado (76.90%). Ke hana nei me nā hui kaiaulu, nā mea hoʻolako a me nā mea aʻoaʻo, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Colorado Access e aʻo a hoʻonohonoho i ke komo ʻana i ke kano i nā code ZIP me kahi kiʻekiʻe o ka poʻe ʻōlelo Sepania a me nā poʻe i ʻike ʻia he Hispanic a Latino paha.

ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona koʻikoʻi ʻo ke kaukaʻi kaulike olakino ʻo Julissa Soto, ʻo kāna mau hoʻāʻo - kālā ʻia e Colorado Access - ua loaʻa i ka ʻoi aku ma mua o 8,400 mau kano o ke kano i mālama ʻia mai ʻAukake i hala a hiki i ka liʻiliʻi o 12,300 mau lālā kaiāulu. Hoʻokipa ʻo Soto i nā "pāʻina kano" e hōʻike ana i nā mele, nā pāʻani a me nā ʻoliʻoli ʻē aʻe ma nā wahi kaiāulu kaulana; hele i nā pule he nui i kēlā me kēia Sābati e ʻōlelo ana i nā anaina holoʻokoʻa; a he misionari kona e hoʻopaʻa i kēlā me kēia Latino ma ia wahi. Ua ʻike ʻia kona kūpaʻa, makemake a me nā hopena e nā alakaʻi kaiāulu e like me Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman, nāna i ʻōlelo:

"Pōmaikaʻi mākou, ma ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Aurora, i loaʻa iā Julissa Soto, he alakaʻi olakino olakino e kōkua ana iā mākou i kā mākou kaiāulu Hepanika," wahi a Coffman. "ʻAʻole like me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe o ko mākou kaiāulu, ka poʻe e manaʻo nei e hele mai ka poʻe malihini Hepanika iā lākou, ke hoʻonohonoho nei ʻo Julissa Soto i nā hanana ma nā hale pule malihini Hepanika, nā hale ʻaina, a me nā hui pō, i nā hola i loaʻa ai ke kaiāulu Hepanika a ʻaʻole. i kaupalena ʻia i ka ʻoluʻolu o nā luna olakino olakino. "

Ma waena o Iulai 2021 a me Malaki 2022, hōʻike ʻia ka ʻikepili Colorado Access ua hoʻomaʻamaʻa piha ʻia (i wehewehe ʻia e like me ka poʻe me ka liʻiliʻi o ka pūʻulu pana piha) ua piʻi nā lālā Hispanic/Latino mai ka helu o 28.7% a i 42.0%, e hōʻemi ana i ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o nā lālā Hispanic/Latino a nā lālā keʻokeʻo i 2.8%. ʻO kēia ma muli o ka nui o nā hoʻoikaika ʻana e hoʻopaʻa i ka hui Hepanika a me Latino o Colorado.

ʻO ka kūleʻa o kēia mau ʻano hana moʻomeheu e hōʻike ana he hiki ke hoʻopōmaikaʻi i nā hui like ʻole i ke kaiāulu. Ke ʻimi nei ʻo Colorado Access i ka hana hou ʻana i kēia ʻano hoʻohālike ma waena o kāna mau hoa kaiāulu ʻē aʻe, e komo pū ana nā alakaʻi hilinaʻi a me nā hui kaiaulu, e kuhikuhi ana i nā poʻe i nā kumuwaiwai maikaʻi loa, nā mea hoʻolako a me ka mālama e hoʻokō i kā lākou mau pono.

Kuhi ka hui i ka hālāwai ʻana me nā pono kūikawā o nā lālā ma o ka hana pū ʻana me nā mea hoʻolako a me nā hui kaiaulu e hāʻawi i ka mālama pilikino pilikino maikaʻi loa ma o nā hopena i ana ʻia. ʻO kā lākou ʻike ākea a hohonu hoʻi o nā ʻōnaehana kūloko a kūloko hoʻi e ʻae iā lākou e hoʻomau i ka mālama ʻana i kā mākou lālā a ʻoiai e hana pū ana i nā ʻōnaehana ana a me ka hoʻokele waiwai e lawelawe iā lākou.
