Legal Aspects of Healthcare
Non-discrimination refers to the principle that individuals should not face unfair treatment or exclusion based on specific characteristics such as race, gender, age, disability, or health status. This concept is essential in ensuring equal access to healthcare services and protection from discrimination in various settings, particularly in relation to the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA reinforced this principle by establishing guidelines that promote equitable healthcare access and prevent discrimination against vulnerable populations.
