<p>La comunidad latina está de luto. El dolor por la muerte de Jaime Escalante transmonta mares y montañas. Su partida al infinito acongoja su morada en Sacramento y hace palidecer la urbe angelina.

<p><strong>WASHINGTON</strong> – It can be difficult to decipher the information found in the thousands of pages in the Affordable Health Care for America Act, especially with nearly $200 million worth of ads bombarding Americans.</p>
<p>Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebe-lius said she would be surprised if the American people did not have questions about the new law, given how complex the health-care system already is.</p>
