just expanded access to health insurance, the president of the
National Hispanic Medical Association said Wednesday.

should be appropriate for those with low literacy skills, as well as
for those who speak both English and Spanish, she added. "There's got
to be a new media approach (using) the internet and cable (and) social
marketing."</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E70E9E69-AFBC-4BD9-8240-6CA2B3A64F3E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
