Proposed cuts to national health survey worry disability advocates
Original: How proposed cuts to this major national health survey could disadvantage Americans with disabilities
Proposed budget cuts to a major national health survey could reduce data collected on Americans with disabilities, potentially leaving this population undercounted and underserved in future health policy decisions. Critics warn that trimming the survey would weaken researchers' and policymakers' ability to track the health needs, access to care and outcomes of disabled Americans, making it harder to design and fund programs that serve them.
Why now: Newly proposed budget cuts have raised concerns about how disability health data would be collected going forward
