Garcia's speaks to Stan Dorn, Senior Health Policy Director for UnidosUS, about the confusing and cumbersome bureaucratic "redetermination" process that’s led to more than 400,000 Florida families, including many Latinos, losing their benefits and how the situation there is being replicated nationwide.
