Step-by-step explanation:

Section 1557 incorporates earlier civil rights protections in regard to race, color, national origin, disability, age, and sex and applies them to federally funded health programs and those administered by HHS. These laws include Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (race, color, and national origin), Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 (sex), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (disability), and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (age).

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

You didn't give the options but let me explain this.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is simply a comprehensive healthcare reform that was signed by former United States President Obama in 2010. It provided health insurance coverage to Americans.

Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act refers to the nondiscrimination provision of the Act (ACA). Section 1557 states that an individual should not be excluded from participating or benefiting from the Act and that ni.one should be discriminated on the grounds that were already prohibited under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

It simply means no one should be discriminated from the Act based on color, race, disability, age, sex etc.
