In 2025, people with disabilities face significant challenges. Donald Trump’s second term includes potential cuts to Medicaid and the appointment of a vaccine critic to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. The use of artificial intelligence in healthcare could worsen disparities for marginalized communities. Medicaid automation systems have led to errors disenrolling eligible individuals. The home care industry, crucial for many disabled individuals, is underfunded and underpaid. The politicization of masks has made it difficult for some disabled individuals to protect themselves. Potential cuts to Medicaid could further strain access to essential care for vulnerable populations.
