Practice for Under One Roof

Paco: One of these looks like it’s for an X-ray. The other, I’m not sure. Maybe for an examination? Was this at the Fill in the blank 1 of 3 room?

Juli: Yes, it was.

Paco: Are you okay?

Juli: I’m fine. Don’t worry. I had some Fill in the blank 2 of 3 for a couple of days, but it’s gone.

Paco: Are you sure?

Juli: Yes, I’m sure. You were at school, and I didn’t want you to worry.

Paco: You need to tell me these things. You need to Fill in the blank 3 of 3 . We’ve been here more than a year already. Jojo and I have health insurance.

Javier: Check out the Get Covered NYC webpage. They help families find the Fill in the blank 1 of 3 everyone needs, and they help you in your language. There are free or Fill in the blank 2 of 3 programs for everyone – people with or without papers.

Paco: Get Covered NYC.

Javier: Yeah. You can also call 311 and they’ll Fill in the blank 3 of 3 you. I really hope your parents do it. I remember what Frantz said about his brother.

Paco: I do, too.

Get Covered Specialist: I am a Get Covered NYC Specialist. Everyone in New York City has a Fill in the blank 1 of 3 to health care. There are different programs. If someone does not have papers, there is a free program called NYC Care. If you have papers, you are Fill in the blank 2 of 3 for different kinds of health insurance. We will find a program that is right for you.

Juli: We have been worried about the cost.

Get Covered Specialist: We will find a program that you can Fill in the blank 3 of 3 . And you will have your own doctor who knows you and what you need.

Felix: What do we need to do to get covered?

Get Covered Specialist: I will make an appointment for you with a health care enroller.

Felix: Enroller?

Get Covered Specialist: Someone who enrolls you – signs you up. You can do it online or in person, whichever you prefer. You can use your free IDNYC or any other ID.

Frantz: Thank you all. I live here too, you know, and I want to make this place beautiful, too. My brother… My brother couldn’t be here. He didn’t know about low-cost health insurance, and he didn’t take care of his Fill in the blank 1 of 3 . Sometimes when you are working hard every day, living paycheck to paycheck, you have to make difficult Fill in the blank 2 of 3 . My brother… My brother didn’t know there were good options for him to help himself and plan for his future. We have to think… We have to Fill in the blank 3 of 3 ourselves, for today and for tomorrow. Paco, thank you for asking me to speak with the landlord. Thank you for serving up these delicious vegetarian tamales from my brother’s cart.

Javier: There’s tamales from Paco’s food cart… There’s sun… And the solar panels are here! Please stay as long as the sun is high.

Juli: Everybody… I know the program is over, but I want to share something Fill in the blank 1 of 3 . My son, Paco, advocated for Fill in the blank 2 of 3 in our building, and for taking care of the health of our city, our planet, our home. He has been an inspiration for me. The younger generation truly has a lot to teach us. Paco and my daughter, Jojo, encouraged my husband, Felix and me to get health insurance – to get Fill in the blank 3 of 3 and to take care of ourselves. Some of us live in the shadows – unprotected, uncovered – but that is no way to live. We all live under one sun – one solar roof. We all need to take care of ourselves, the home we share, each other.
