This paper provides a summary of the health insurance issues affecting employment of people with disabilities, including a discussion of the current programs and policies that are available. It presents findings from focus groups conducted with individuals with disabilities who have achieved a reasonable measure of employment success. The focus groups provided information about the extent to which access to health care influenced employment decisions of participants, and about various strategies participants employed for securing access both to employment and needed health care.
