Experts indicate there may be more standing in the way of proper diabetes care, between at-risk Latinas and their doctors.

A number of hurdles have traditionally stood before Latinas when it comes to medical treatment, with access to care and language barriers usually top on the list of why illnesses aren’t addressed promptly.

The 2010 U.S. census and other recent statistics show that Hispanics are the fastest growing minority in the U.S. But a recent LIMRA study, “Hispanics an untapped market for life insurance,” by Gillian Roberts, September 4, 2013, also shows that Hispanics are not saving enough for their future and are underinsured as well.

Although Hispanics are nearly twice as likely as non-Hispanic to get diabetes, the perception of the metabolic disease, within the community, varies a great deal, according to a new survey by the National Alliance for Hispanic Health.

Eight years after walking out on the Congressional Hispanic Caucus in protest of the treatment of female members, Rep. Linda Sánchez finds herself in charge of the Latino lawmakers' group, with another woman as her lieutenant.

Sánchez, D-Calif., assumed the top post of the male-dominated group in her 12th year in the House, the dust clearly settled on the equity issue within the caucus.

Sánchez heads the CHC in the congressional session leading up to the 2016 presidential contest that could feature Hillary Clinton as Democratic nominee and one where the Latino vote is once again expected to be key to the outcome.
