Spanish speakers now have a new place to go when looking for affordable health insurance quotes and other health information. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has launched CuidadodeSalud.Gov to provide greater access to healthcare information for the country's Latino community.

Like its English counterpart, HealthCare.gov, CuidadodeSalud.Gov aims to provide people with information about public and private health insurance options in one location.

HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius says the website will be able to help inform the Latino population about the health services available to them.

"CuidadoDeSalud.gov like HealthCare.gov is an unprecedented website which provides consumers with the power of information at their fingertips," says Sebelius. "Individuals, families, and small businesses will be able to easily compare both public and private health coverage options tailored specifically for their needs."

Latinos have a higher incidence rate of certain conditions, such as diabetes. With proper information and care, type 2 diabetes can be prevented in many cases. The new website may make it easier for Latinos to be more informed on health conditions and ultimately lead to better care.
