Which of the following is NOT one of the five categories defined by the ADA?

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) defines five major categories that focus on various aspects of public life to ensure that individuals with disabilities have equal opportunities and protections. The recognized categories include employment, public accommodations, transportation, state and local government services, and telecommunications.

Health care, while an important area regarding accessibility for individuals with disabilities, does not stand alone as a specific category defined by the ADA. Rather, health care services fall under public accommodations since these services are generally provided in facilities open to the public. Recognizing this distinction is crucial for understanding how the ADA applies broadly to various sectors without explicitly listing health care as one of its five primary categories.
