ARLINGTON, VA - Millions of African Americans will benefit from the American Health Choices Plan released this week by Senator Hillary Clinton. The Democratic presidential candidate’s health plan provides comprehensive health care for all Americans, reduces health care costs for working families and strengthens the safety net for low income Americans. Under the plan, 7.7 million African Americans without health insurance will receive high quality, affordable care.

Today, the Sunday meal after church continues to serve as a prime gathering time for friends and family.
