" With one in ten Hispanics now unemployed , the ranks of the uninsured are growing daily . The President has taken decisive action to address the needs of Hispanic families . By reauthorizing the State Children 's Health Insurance Program ( SCHIP ) less than two weeks ago an estimated 1.5 million currently uninsured Hispanic children are now poised to gain health insurance coverage . Today , by signing the stimulus package , the President is bringing relief to families by extending private health insurance support for the unemployed , increasing federal spending on Medicaid , and expanding the capacity of community health centers to deliver needed health care services .
