As riddled with problems as our health insurance system is for all Americans, a devastating report at HealthReform.gov also documented how low-income Americans and racial and ethnic minorities experience disproportionately higher rates of disease, fewer treatment options, and reduced access to care. Today Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett will address those issues and many others in a live video chat today at 3:30 EST.  We’ve been taking questions since last week, and will take more live during the chat. Watch, discuss, and ask questions through Facebook     Watch and ask questions through WhiteHouse.gov/live
