US Lawsuit Threatens Disability Independence
Description
A lawsuit against the US Department of Health and Human Services threatens to undermine key protections for individuals with disabilities, potentially leading to increased institutionalization. South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley joined the suit, challenging federal rules on disability funds. Advocates warn that this could weaken safeguards that keep people out of institutions and in their communities. Real-life examples, like Brenda Smiths son and Ismael Collazos woodworking business, highlight the importance of community rehab programs. A town hall tonight at seven p.m. will delve deeper into this issue.
