The Department of Health and Human Services of the United States (HHS) will use the social webs to clear all doubts to the Hispanic community.

It will be this coming Tuesday at 11AM (Pacific time), when this will take place through the Twitter account @HHSlatino; specialized officers will be attending concerns from the community in regard to health and protection matters to the Latino community.

The information will be completely in Spanish.

This will take place since April is the National Month of Health for the Minorities, according to HHS. The subject this time will be "Equity in health cannot wait, act now in your community".

To make sure that your messages are properly sent, you can use the option hashtag #LaSaludLatina.

Questions can already be send at this moment.

Likewise, details will be given about a new law known as Cuidado de Salud a Bajo Precio (Healthcare Law at Low Cost), that would implement protection measures for the consumer, as well as new options on medical coverage, and tools to take well informed decisions.

Under that law, more than 1.2 million Latinos, African-American, y Asians have received free medical coverage according to HHS.

"According to the new healthcare law, an American citizen will never have to worry again for losing their medical coverage in case they get fired or change their jobs. And now the insurance companies have to cover the preventive care such as mammograms and other oncologic controls", says an article on the HHS official site.

"The new law would also make important investments in state and communitarian efforts that promote public health, prevent illnesses, and protect against public health emergencies", it added.

If you have doubts about this and other topics, the meeting is tomorrow, Tuesday April 10, at 11AM sharp on Twitter.
