As a marginalized group, disabled people face numerous challenges when it comes to political participation in the United States, and the policy views of disabled people have been historically ignored even within the field of health policy research. This study seeks to address this gap using national surveys and interviews to reveal key insights from the disabled population, including the effects of stigma and exclusion on health care quality, opinions regarding the efficacy of the Affordable Care Act, and desires for expansion into a universal system.
