Today, HHS_ASPE released a health coverage report, showing that the ACA has helped increase health coverage for working-age adults with disabilities from 71% to 81%. Uninsured adults with disabilities has decreased from 17% to 9%.
There was also an increase of about 14% in the proportion of adults with disabilities who had continuous coverage, from about 71% to 81%. These improvements were concentrated immediately after 2014, when the largest ACA-driven insurance expansions first took effect. Coverage gains were particularly large for Medicaid, coinciding with the ACA’s Medicaid expansion program that took effect in most states starting in 2014.
This brief was prepared through intramural research by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, Office of Behavioral Health, Disability, and Aging Policy.
