title: Reality ignored: health reform and people with disabilities.
abstract: The current health system reform debate largely has omitted the impact of different proposals on people with disabilities. Yet this population has a profound impact on the health care system and vice versa. The perspective of people with disabilities is different from that of other consumers and should be included in any health reform plan.
