  • APIAHF APPLAUDS CMS’ BOLD ACTION TO SAFEGUARD HEALTH CARE COVERAGE

    AUGUST 30, 2023 PRESS RELEASE APIAHF APPLAUDS CMS’ BOLD ACTION TO SAFEGUARD HEALTH CARE COVERAGE AUGUST 30, 2023 WASHINGTON —Today, the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services sent a letter to all states and U.S. territories requiring them to determine if they have an eligibility systems issue that could cause entire households to be disenrolled from Medicaid or CHIP even if they are eligible for coverage. If a state has an eligibility systems issue, they must do the following, to avoid CMS enforcement to bring states into compliance: Pause procedural disenrollments for those individuals impacted, Reinstate coverage for all affected individuals and provide retroactive eligibility back to the date of termination, Implement one or more CMS-approved mitigation strategies until such time that the state has fixed all systems and processes to prevent continued inappropriate disenrollments, and Fix state systems and processes to ensure renewals are conducted appropriately and in accordance with federal Medicaid requirements. Juliet K. Choi, president and CEO of the Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF) released the following statement: “We applaud CMS for taking bold action to safeguard health care coverage for millions of families across our nation as we continue to face the devastating impacts of disenrollment from Medicaid Unwinding, which disproportionately affects communities of color, immigrants and individuals with limited English proficiency. “Health care is a fundamental right, and ensuring that children and families have reliable access to necessary services is paramount. It is unconscionable for states to disenroll thousands of families, including children, due to a state’s systems and operational issues. This action today by CMS is a positive and necessary step toward protecting coverage for low-income families, and we are optimistic that the Biden administration will continue to forge forth towards affordable, quality care for all families.” # # # The Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF) influences policy, mobilizes communities and strengthens programs and organizations to improve the health of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders.

  • APIAHF RESPONSE TO THE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS

    FEBRUARY 24, 2026 PRESS RELEASE APIAHF RESPONSE TO THE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS FEBRUARY 24, 2026 WASHINGTON — Tonight, President Donald Trump shared the Administration’s actions and future plans in his State of the Union address. Juliet K. Choi, President & CEO of the Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF), released the following statement: “Tonight’s State of the Union comes at a pivotal moment as the nation’s trust in our public health infrastructure is under strain and millions of vulnerable Americans face rising healthcare costs and the real risk of losing coverage altogether. Policymakers must take immediate, bipartisan action to blunt the harmful impacts of H.R. 1 and prevent deep cuts to essential safety net programs that families rely on every day. “Across the country, many working families — especially immigrant families — are not feeling relief; they are experiencing deep and growing uncertainty and anxiety. Healthcare costs continue to climb out of reach, and immigration enforcement actions in previously protected locations such as hospitals, schools, childcare centers, and places of worship are further undermining community trust. “Even in the face of these challenges, communities are supporting one another through mutual aid and collective action. APIAHF will continue to demand accountability from elected leaders and encourage eligible voters and community leaders alike to stay informed, participate and make their voices heard at the ballot box.” # # # Achieving health equity for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities through law, policy and practice.

  • APIAHF & NCAPIP STATEMENT ON VOTE TO END UNIVERSAL HEPATITIS B SHOTS FOR NEWBORNS

    DECEMBER 5, 2025 PRESS RELEASE APIAHF & NCAPIP STATEMENT ON VOTE TO END UNIVERSAL HEPATITIS B SHOTS FOR NEWBORNS DECEMBER 5, 2025 WASHINGTON —Today, a federal vaccine advisory committee voted 8–3 to recommend ending the longstanding policy that all U.S. newborns receive the hepatitis B vaccine at birth. The new guidance suggests that only infants whose mothers test positive for hepatitis B, or whose maternal infection status is unknown, should be guaranteed the birth dose. For all other infants, the decision would be deferred to parents and doctors. “We are deeply concerned by today’s vote. The universal birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine has been a critical public health safeguard—especially for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities that bear a disproportionate burden of chronic hepatitis B and account for over 50–58% of all Americans living with chronic hepatitis B," said Juliet K. Choi, president and CEO of APIAHF. "Removing this broad protection will not only jeopardize decades of progress, it will leave too many infants vulnerable simply because of gaps in maternal testing or delayed diagnosis. We call on public health leaders to uphold proven, equitable preventative care.” “The Hepatitis B vaccine is safe and it works — physicians and other medical professionals have administered the vaccine for over 40 years with millions of doses given," said Susan Wu, MD, Pediatrician and Board Member, NCAPIP. "Eliminating universal Hepatitis B vaccine at birth will result in more children becoming infected with a disease which is preventable and has no cure.“ APIAHF and NCAPIP urge federal and state health authorities, hospitals, and pediatric providers to continue offering the birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine as standard practice and encourage parents, especially in AANHPI and other high-risk communities, to consult with their healthcare providers about timely vaccination. # # # Achieving health equity for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities through law, policy and practice. NCAPIP represents Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander physicians committed to the advancement of the health and well-being of their patients and communities, with the goal of optimal health for all.

  • SENATOR HIRONO ANNOUNCES LEGISLATION FOR HEALTH EQUITY

    OCTOBER 8, 2020 PRESS RELEASE SENATOR HIRONO ANNOUNCES LEGISLATION FOR HEALTH EQUITY OCTOBER 8, 2020 HEAA will eliminate health disparities in the U.S. health care system WASHINGTON — Today, the Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum congratulate Sen. Mazie K. Hirono (HI) for announcing the Health Equity and Accountability Act (HEAA). This bill is a roadmap for eliminating health and health care disparities by building on previous successful strategies, including the Affordable Care Act (ACA). “For almost a decade, APIAHF has supported HEAA as a comprehensive blueprint to increase health equity for everyone,” said Juliet K. Choi, executive vice president of APIAHF. “We congratulate Sen. Hirono for leading the Senate with HEAA to ensure that everyone has access to quality health care. Affordable, accessible health care is increasingly important as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, which disproportionately affects communities of color.” Achieving health equity requires a multi-faceted approach that addresses the varying and layered factor affecting health access and health outcomes — immigration status, age, disability, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, language and socio-economic status. HEAA is a comprehensive plan to tackle these factors in every part of the U.S. health care system, including making health insurance coverage more affordable, promoting investments in innovative health delivery methods and technologies, and advancing research and data collection about the health needs and outcomes of diverse communities. Individual sections of HEAA have already gone into effect, including reimbursement for language services under the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), enhanced data collection requirements in federal health surveys and elevation of the Office of Minority Health to the Office of the Secretary of HHS in the ACA. The bill was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives in April 2020 by Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García (IL-4) with support from the Congressional Tri-Caucus and 230 local, state and national organizations including APIAHF. # # # The Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF) influences policy, mobilizes communities and strengthens programs and organizations to improve the health of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders.

  • APIAHF COMMITTED TO THE CHALLENGES AHEAD

    NOVEMBER 21, 2024 PRESS RELEASE APIAHF COMMITTED TO THE CHALLENGES AHEAD NOVEMBER 21, 2024 The Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum, the oldest and largest health advocacy organization working with Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities across the nation, is steadfast in its mission to improve the health and well-being of Asian American and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities. In two months, President-Elect Trump will be inaugurated and take office. Like the start of his first term in 2017, he begins his final term as President with his party controlling the Senate and the House of Representatives. President-Elect Trump has already outlined an agenda that threatens immigrant communities and, through his appointments, has sparked grave concerns about the future health of our communities. While we may not agree with all the policies of the new Administration and the legislative actions of the 119th Congress, APIAHF will remain resolute in supporting our communities, partners, and Senate and House champions. From mobilizing our partners to provide critical resources and information during the COVID-19 pandemic to fighting back against discriminatory administrative and legislative policies targeting our communities, we will ensure our voice remains strong in the face of every challenge. # # # Achieving health equity for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities through law, policy and practice.
