The Health Equity and Accountability Act of 2011 was introduced in the U.S. House this week by members of the Congressional Tri-Caucus, comprising the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. The bill, which complements the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and focuses on eliminating racial and ethnic health disparities, recognizes the importance of including LGBT people in addressing health disparities of minority populations through significant LGBT inclusion throughout the bill.
