[Diabetes-Talk] Possibly OT: U.S. Access Board to Hold Public Briefing on Final Rules

[Veronica Elsea]

I read through all of these documents a couple of months ago and it does not
address the medical gear we use at home. It's talking about how to allow
everyone access to an MRI, x-ray tables and such. It's diagnostic, not
treatment.

Note the ruling on medical diagnostic equipment. At least, this is an
opportunity to see how the system works, and maybe even get a word in about
our need for accessible personal use medical devices. There are phone
options for remote participation.
