It's hard to imagine something more absurd: military families' children, who have no say in their moves, are penalized for moving across state lines. "Bipartisan members of Congress recently introduced the Care for Military Kids Act, a critical step to allow military children with disabilities to retain their waitlist time when their families are relocated. It is a smart, targeted demonstration that proves what we’ve been saying for decades: portability is possible. If we can solve it for military kids, we can solve it for everyone else," says Captain Robert P. Taishoff, who, along with Sara Hart Weir, Senior Fellow and Director of the Campaign to Fix Disability System for Able Americans, joins Newell to discuss the issue.
