“"Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) older people stand to benefit greatly from health coverage expansions under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). These expansions include Health Insurance Marketplace, the Medicaid expansion, new benefits from elders 65+ on Medicare, and a range of protections that make health care more accessible for LGBT older people."”
