Rights and Benefits

Wheelchair

The ‘system’ is not the solution. Further, it is a complex and formidable sea of regulation, law and red tape that affects people who want to exercise their rights as citizens, find jobs or get medical care when no insurance company will carry them. Therefore, federal and state policies regarding disability must often be understood, worked and sometimes challenged in order for people to get what they need.
