Description (Dublin Core)

An article by Liz Essley Whyte describing policies on medical rationing, state by state, and the efforts by disability advocacy groups to enforce equal access to lifesaving treatment. As disability rights activist Ari Ne’eman states in the article, ‘There is a long history of people with disabilities being devalued by the medical system. That’s why we have civil rights laws. We don’t have an exception in our country’s civil rights laws for clinical judgment. We don’t take it on trust.’ As Matthew Foster, an Alabama resident. says, ‘I have a right to live.’
