The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a historic opportunity for people living with HIV (PLWH), including those currently receiving services through the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, to increase their access to affordable, quality health care.
Many Ryan White clients will gain access to health insurance or see their current health insurance improve. These transitions will require thoughtful and careful coordination between the federal government, state and local governments, Ryan White Program grantees, and clients.” (HRSA website)
If your organization serves consumers in or near the Austin metropolitan area, you can refer them to the Austin Public Health website for local ACA information. Consumers can also call 2-1-1 for assistance.
