American Journal of Public Health: Health Care Disparities in the Post–Affordable Care Act Era

Abstract: Disparities in health care have been targeted for elimination by federal agen- cies and professional orga- nizations, including the American Public Health As- sociation. Although the Af- fordable Care Act (ACA) provides a valuable first step in reducing the disparities gap, progress is contingent upon whether opportunities in the ACA help or hinder populations at risk for im- paired health and limited access to medical care.
