For example. the Affordable Care Act contains many groundbreaking policies first introduced in HEAA. including expansion of Medicaid eligibility. increased resources for community health centers. and institutionalizing Federal efforts to achieve health equity. Nevertheless. while the ACA has made a significant impact on access to quality health care. many inequities and obstacles remain that prevent the elimination of health disparities in our country. That is why the HEAA of 2014 provides Federal resources and advanced policies to improve health outcomes in all populations regardless of race. ethnicity. immigration status. age. ability. sex. sexual orientation. gender identity. or English proficiency. The HEAA is made up of ten titles proposing a wide spectrum of health initiatives that address disparities and mental health and specific high impact minority diseases. The bill also provides guidelines for improving the health outcomes for women. children. and families. and targets resources to communities striving to overcome negative social factors.
