Abstract

disabled people as age, income, race, and ethnicity ACA mental health disability Health Care People with Disabilities
This study explores the effect of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on disparities in access to health care based on disability status, as well as age, income, race, and ethnicity. This study found that while the ACA improved overall access to health care and reduced some disparities, substantial disparities persist. Disability status remains associated with much greater risk of delayed or forgone care, and mental health disability is associated with greater likelihood of uninsurance.
