Too many Americans with disabilities and chronic conditions are not well served by the current system and will make tremendous gains through enactment of health care reform.

- Health care reform will end discrimination based on health status in the private market - discrimination that currently leaves millions of vulnerable Americans uninsured
- Health care reform will include new, affordable voluntary long term care insurance coverage—the CLASS Act—and expand Medicaid coverage for home and community based services
- Health care reform will expand Medicaid eligibility and provide subsidies in the private market, creating more affordable coverage for people with disabilities
- Health care reform will prohibit annual and lifetime limits on coverage so that individuals with serious conditions will not be forced into medical bankruptcy
