I doubt the disability perspective will get much representation in the general media. As Yanub points out in her blog, there's already a 2-year waiting list for Medicare when people go on disability--we're *already* on health care rationing, that's what Singer misses. I know a lot of people paying for wheelchairs out of pocket.<br /><br />Thanks for the great links, Ruth.FridaWriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321658097813377806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31220410.post-42399560870748885432009-07-19T18:04:39.835-04:002009-07-19T18:04:39.835-04:00Thanks for your comments, Bill and Frida.
