We want to share this new report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) on barriers for people with disabilities in the U.S. healthcare system.

The report finds that people with disabilities still face widespread barriers to accessing health care, including inaccessible facilities and equipment, overwhelming sensory environments, technology usability issues, communication challenges, and provider bias or limited disability training.
