National health care reform must meet the unique health care needs of people with disabilities. However, obtaining health care coverage for a person with disabilities can be challenging in an employer-based health insurance environment. The final healthcare reform act must ensure that working people with disabilities retain the options they currently have to participate; any legislation should embed Medicaid Buy-in cocerage and provide states the flexibility they need to support individuals with disabilities in employment
