16: Disability & Policy

In this episode, we talk with Andrés Gallegos, chairman of the National Council on Disability (NCD), about his recent commentary in Health Affairs, “Misperceptions of People with Disabilities Lead to Low-Quality Care: How Policymakers Can Counter the Harm and Injustice.” He shares insight on the impact of gaps in disability data, the underrepresentation of people with disabilities in leadership positions, disability cultural competency, and how quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) are barriers to equitable health care.
