In response to the need for a more accessible, translated glossary of health insurance-related terms, Action for Health Justice (AHJ) created this glossary of health insurance enrollment terms in English and the following 12 Asian and Pacific Islander languages:
- Burmese
- Chinese (Traditional)
- Chuukese
- Hindi
- Hmong
- Khmer
- Korean
- Laotian
- Marshallese
- Tagalog
- Tongan
- Vietnamese
The Glossary contains approximately 100 of the most frequently used (and often confused) terms encountered by in-person assisters and navigators during the Affordable Care Act’s first round of open enrollment.
Population of focus: Asian and Pacific Islanders
