| Annotation | Older lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Americans face many barriers in accessing health and social care including social stigma and prejudice, lack of informal or family care and other safety net programmes and laws. Specific health challenges that this group face include inability to access affordable health insurance, lack of culturally competent health services, HIV/AIDS risk, mental health and chronic health conditions. The Affordable Care Act (ACA), which became law in the U.S. in March 2010, is the most significant and far-reaching reform of America's health system since the 1960s and will hopefully go a long way in helping older LGBT people.
