How the GOP Tax Bill Hurts Disabled People

The Republican tax bill stands to harm many US communities, but disabled people could particularly struggle thanks to a combination of cuts to vital services and the elimination of key deductions.

And the tax plan won't just affect disabled people, who are already more likely to live in poverty than nondisabled people. It could also hit the families of disabled dependents hard, along with older adults, many of whom benefit from the same programs used by disabled people.

Understanding the harmful elements of this bill will help you better advocate for yourself and the people you care about when you contact your legislators.
