What does the disparity look like in Colorado? Between 2017 and 2019, the rate of uninsured Hispanic and Latino children in Colorado tripled, according to a research from the Colorado Health Institute (CHI) released in April 2020. They conduct the Colorado Health Access Survey every other year. It was eye opening, said Joe Hanel, the communications director at the Colorado Health Institute. It confirmed our worst fears, it was tragic, infuriating, and we actually felt a little helpless to do anything besides tell the story and put it out there.   Hanel said their study showed there were about 9,000 Hispanic and Latino children without health insurance un 2017. In 2019, that number went up to 27,000 making the rate nearly three times that of their non-Hispanic White counterparts. In fact the rate for white children dropped a little bit, said Hanel.
