This article reports on qualitative findings from a mixed methods study that explored the efficacy of providing enhanced health benefits and services to people with chronic health conditions to reduce their application rates to federal disability programs. Comparing an intervention and control group, the study found that those who received enhanced benefits had reduced health decline. To explore reasons for this reduction, authors conducted focus groups with a sample of participants from both groups. Four themes emerged: (a) Due to the effects of their conditions, most participants believed their health would worsen over time; (b) Intervention group members said their health deterioration would be slowed or prevented, while control group members worried about more rapid decline and the future; (c) Intervention group members related their beliefs about continued health to their ability to access care; (d) Control group members were more likely than intervention group members to indicate they applied or were interested in applying for social security disability benefits. These themes suggest that people who believe they have access to quality health care feel their health can and will improve over time. If health care reform leads to the availability of more comprehensive coverage for people with potentially disabling conditions, growth in federal disability programs may slow
