Imiphakathi Yase-Colorado's Hispanic and Latino Ibhekane Nezinselele Zezempilo Eziyingqayizivele Kuwo Lonke Ubhubhane, I-Colorado Access Esebenza Ukuyigqamisa Nekheli
I-DENVER – Umphakathi wase-Colorado wamaHispanic/Latino wenza cishe u-22% wabantu bombuso (isibalo sesibili ngobukhulu ngemuva kwabamhlophe/abangewona ama-Hispanic) futhi nokho unezidingo eziningi ezingahlangatsheziwe uma kuziwa ekutholeni ukunakekelwa kwezempilo ngokomzimba nokuziphatha okuvumelana namasiko. Kuso sonke lesi sifo esiwubhubhane, lo mphakathi uye wabhekana nemithelela engalingani yezempilo nezomnotho, okuhlanganisa nengozi enkulu yokutheleleka nge-COVID-19, ukulaliswa esibhedlela kanye nokufa, kunabaseMelika abamhlophe abangewona ama-Hispanic (umthombo). Ukufinyelela kwe-Colorado, uhlelo lwezempilo olukhulu kunazo zonke lwezwe lwe-Medicaid, lwenze amasu athile aqondile aqala ukubhekana nezindawo ezimbili zobuhlungu ezaziwayo naleli qembu: ukuntuleka kwabahlinzeki abakhuluma iSpanishi kanye nezinga eliphansi lokugomela i-COVID-19.
Isevisi ye-La Raza, umhlinzeki onenkontileka ne-Colorado Access, ingenye yezinhlangano ezimbalwa e-Colorado ukunikeza izinsizakalo zokuphendula ngokwamasiko kubantu abakhuluma iSpanishi ngolimi lwabo lwendabuko (ngaphandle kokusebenzisa isevisi yokuhumusha). Ngenxa yalokhu, inhlangano yabo ithole imibuzo emisha elinganiselwa ku-1,500 evela kumalungu omphakathi afuna ukunakekelwa onyakeni odlule.
“Abantu beza kithi ngoba abazizwa bekhululekile kwenye indawo,” kusho uFabian Ortega, isekela lomqondisi kwaServicios de La Raza. “Amalungu omphakathi wethu abheke ukuxhumana nabelaphi abafana nabo futhi abake babhekana nakho okufanayo.”
Ukuze usize abantu abaningi bathole lokhu kunakekelwa okusabela ngokwesiko, i-Colorado Access isanda kunikeza izimali ezigcwele zabasebenzi ababili abakhuluma iSpanishi ukuze basekele i-Servicios de La Raza isikhathi esiyiminyaka emibili. Esinye sezikhundla sizogxila ekusizeni abantu ababekade beboshiwe kanti esinye sizohlinzeka ngezinsizakalo kumalungu eMedicaid endaweni kamasipala waseDenver.
Ngo-Agasti 2021, i-Colorado Access yabeka ukugxila okwengeziwe ekwehliseni ukungafani kokugoma phakathi komphakathi wama-Hispanic/Latino namanye amaqembu ezinhlanga/ubuzwe ngenxa yezithiyo ezaziwayo ezibhekene nalesi sibalo kanye nokungafani okuboniswa kudatha yawo yokugoma. Ngokuvumelana ne Idatha ye-CDPHE (ifinyelelwe ngomhla ka-8 Mashi 2022), lesi sibalo sabantu sinezinga lokugoma eliphansi kunawo wonke lanoma yiluphi uhlanga/uhlanga ku-39.35%. Lokhu kungaphezudlwana nje kwesigamu senani lokugoma labantu baseColorado abamhlophe/abangewona amaSpanishi (76.90%). Ngokusebenzisana nezinhlangano zomphakathi, abahlinzeki kanye nabeluleki, i-Colorado Access yaqala ukufundisa nokuxhumanisa ukufinyelela komgomo kumakhodi we-ZIP ngokugxila okuphezulu kwezikhulumi zesiSpanishi nabantu abahlonza njengeSpanishi noma isiLatino.
Isibonelo esisodwa esivelele uchwepheshe wezempilo u-Julissa Soto, imizamo yakhe - exhaswe ngokwengxenye yi-Colorado Access - iholele ekutheni kuthathwe imithamo engaphezu kwe-8,400 yomgomo onikezwe kusukela ngo-Agasti odlule futhi yafinyelela okungenani amalungu omphakathi ayi-12,300. I-Soto isingatha “amaphathi okugoma” abonisa umculo, imidlalo nokunye ukuzijabulisa ezindaweni zomphakathi ezidumile; uba khona emaMiseni amaningi ngeSonto ngalinye ekhuluma kuwo wonke amabandla; futhi unomgomo wokuthi wonke amaLatino endaweni agonywe. Ukuzinikela kwakhe, uthando lwakhe kanye nemiphumela kuye kwaqashelwa abaholi bomphakathi njengeMeya yase-Aurora uMike Coffman, othe:
"Sinenhlanhla, eDolobheni lase-Aurora, ngokuba noJulissa Soto, umholi wezempilo yomphakathi osebenzayo obesisiza emphakathini wethu wabokufika baseSpain," kusho uCoffman. “Ngokungafani nabanye abaningi emphakathini wethu, abalindele ukuthi umphakathi wabokufika baseSpain uze kubo, uJulissa Soto uhlela imicimbi emasontweni abokufika baseSpain, izindawo zokudlela, kanye namakilabhu asebusuku, amahora lapho umphakathi wabokufika waseSpain utholakala futhi hhayi. kunqunyelwe ukusiza izikhulu zezempilo zikahulumeni kuphela.”
Phakathi kukaJulayi 2021 noMashi 2022, idatha ye-Colorado Access ibonisa ukuthi bagonywe ngokugcwele (okuchazwa njengalabo okungenani abanochungechunge oluphelele lokudutshulwa) Amalungu e-Hispanic/Latino akhuphuke esuka kuzinga lika-28.7% kuya ku-42.0%, ehlisa ukuhlukana phakathi kwamalungu e-Hispanic/Latino kanye amalungu amhlophe afika ku-2.8%. Lokhu kungenxa yengxenye enkulu yemizamo eyenziwe yokugoma umphakathi wase-Colorado wamaHispanic and Latino.
Ukuphumelela kwalezi zindlela zokusabela ngokwesiko kubonisa ukuthi indlela egxile emphakathini ekunakekelweni kwezempilo ingase izuze namanye amaqembu ahlukahlukene. I-Colorado Access iphishekela ngenkuthalo ukuphindaphinda lo modeli phakathi kwabanye abalingani bayo bomphakathi, okuhlanganisa abaholi abaningi abathembekile kanye nezinhlangano zomphakathi, ekugcineni bekhomba abantu ezinsizeni ezingcono kakhulu, abahlinzeki kanye nokunakekelwa ukuze bahlangabezane nezidingo zabo.
Mayelana ne-Colorado Access
Njengecebo lezempilo lomkhakha womphakathi elikhulu kunawo wonke esifundazweni, iColorado Access yinhlangano engenzi nzuzo esebenza ngaphezu kokuzulazula nje ngezinsizakalo zezempilo. Le nkampani igxile ekuhlangabezaneni nezidingo ezihlukile zamalungu ngokubambisana nabahlinzeki nezinhlangano zomphakathi ukuhlinzeka ukunakekelwa okungcono komuntu ngemiphumela elinganisekayo. Umbono wabo obanzi futhi ojulile wezinhlelo zesifunda nezasekhaya ubavumela ukuthi bahlale begxile ekunakekelweni kwamalungu ethu ngenkathi besebenzisana nezinhlelo ezilinganisekayo nezomnotho ezizisiza kangcono.
