Disability Civil Rights
[link removed]
The October 2022 issue of Health Affairs focuses on the relationship
between disability and health. Lisa Iezzoni served as a theme issue
adviser and penned an overview paper for the issue.
In their overview article, Iezzoni and coauthors describe six areas of
persistent health and health care inequities for disabled Americans
.
The the last fifty years, several federal civil rights laws have passed
prohibiting discrimination against Americans with disabilities,
including in health care.
These laws include Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 and the ADA Amendments Act
of 2008, and Section 1557 and other provisions of the 2010 Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Iezzoni and coauthors explain that despite the civil rights laws that
are in place, inequities persist. While there are solutions to address
the disparities, they have not been widely implemented.
The authors go on to provide recommendations to maximize the health and
dignity of disabled Americans and support their full participation in
the community.
