Aviso, an Update on Latino Uninsured and Underinsured and How Pfizer Helps to Reduce Health Care Disparities, also provides an overview of the work of Pfizer’s Multicultural Center of Excellence and its partners from health care, legislative, and community organizations that are all committed to eliminating the health care disparities prevalent in the Latino community. Among Latinos, the uninsured rate dropped by 12.3 percentage points against a baseline uninsured rate of 41.8%, resulting in 4.2 million adults gaining coverage, since the start of the open enrollment program under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in October 2013.Although the ACA has increased the number of insured Latinos, lack of health care continues to be a serious issue among Latinos.

Mr. Strahle, on Twitter.The apparently imminent launch could follow Coca-Cola’s move late last year to bring back Surge, a 1990s-era citrus-flavored soda.
