Policy Institute – Transgender Health in the Affordable Health Care Act Speakers: Kellan Baker, MPH, MA; Masen Davis, MSW The Affordable Care Act is the biggest reform of America’s health care system in more than 40 years. The law makes many changes that have the potential to help transgender people stay healthy and to promote the well-being of transgender communities. Some of these changes include making health insurance coverage more affordable and comprehensive, expanding access to HIV prevention and treatment services, and building the knowledge base
about transgender health. But the full potential of the law won’t be realized unless transgender people and our allies are engaged in turning the health reform law into reality for our communities. In this session, health policy experts and health care providers will explain the highlights and key challenges of health reform and engage in a discussion of how transgender advocates can leverage the law’s reforms to advance transgender health priorities. |
