Kerry's Wife Slams Bush Treatment Of Latinos

Teresa Heinz Kerry, wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, said Monday that President George W. Bush`s policies have taken educational and health care opportunities from US Latinos as they grew poorer. She said that under the Bush administration about 50 percent of Hispanic students have been unable to finish high school and that one out of three Latinos lacks health insurance. "The price of this president`s failed health care policies is paid in the coin of human suffering, and for Latinos, that price is far too high," Teresa Heinz Kerry said at a luncheon organized by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute.
