Long after she transformed herself from a blue-collar worker into vice president of Diana’s Mexican Food Products, her family’s $30-million corporation, Hortensia Magaña remained concerned with the fate of the working class.
When she learned that hospitals routinely charged the uninsured more than those covered by insurance companies, Magaña launched a battle to eliminate the inequity.
