Disability’s Role in Health Law

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Today, considerations of disability are a vital part of health law scholarship and teaching, but that was not always the case. This Essay traces how disability's role in health law has grown over the past three decades, alongside the author's own evolution as a health and disability law scholar. The recent official designation of disabled people as a health disparities population is encouraging, but much work remains to achieve health equity for disabled persons.
