Disparities in health care have been targeted for elimination by federal agencies and professional organizations, including the American Public Health Association. Although the Affordable Care Act (ACA) provides a valuable first step in reducing the disparities gap, progress is contingent upon whether opportunities in the ACA help or hinder populations at risk for impaired health and limited access to medical care.
包括美国公共卫生协会在内的联邦机构和专业组织已将消除医疗保健方面的差异作为目标。尽管《平价医疗法案》（ACA）在缩小差异差距方面迈出了宝贵的第一步，但进展取决于该法案中的机会是有助于还是会阻碍那些健康受损风险高且获得医疗服务机会有限的人群。
