Some key findings include the following:
People with disabilities experience significant health disparities and barriers to health care, as compared with people who
do not have disabilities.
People with disabilities frequently lack either health insurance or coverage for necessary services, such as specialty care,
long-term services, prescription medications, durable medical equipment, and assistive technologies.
Most federally funded health disparities research does not recognize and include people with disabilities as a disparity population.
The absence of professional training on disability competency issues for health care practitioners is one of the most
significant barriers preventing people with disabilities from receiving appropriate and effective health care.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has had limited impact on how health care is delivered for people with disabilities.
Significant architectural and programmatic accessibility barriers still remain, and health care providers continue to lack awareness
about steps they are required to take to ensure that patients with disabilities have access to appropriate, culturally competent care.
