Quality, Affordable Health Care for All

Access to health care is a human right. For people with disabilities, access to affordable, high-quality health care is a critical component of community integration. For many, it means the choice to live in one’s own home in the community rather than an institution. NDRN supports that choice by advocating at the federal level to strengthen Medicare, Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, and other health care programs.
