AUCD submitted public comments to the Department of Heath and Human Services Office for Civil Rights about the proposed change to Section 1557 regarding Nondiscrimination in Health and Health Education Programs or Activities. A primary concern is that changes to Section 1557 would undermine or eliminate key protections of the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) nondiscrimination provision from individuals - particularly people with disabilities - who have experienced discrimination in health care programs and settings.
