The Social Security Act provides funds to insure currently uninsured children. The Balanced Budget Act shifted payment in home health care. The HIPAA was intended to help people keep their health insurance when moving from one place to another. The ACA of 2010 provides the opportunity for all to purchase health insurance.

Health disparity refers to the wide variations in health services and health status among certain population groups.
