[Diabetes-Talk] 2019 NFB Legislative Priority

[Milton Ota]

Hello All:

Here, attached is one of the Legislative Priorities that the National 
Federation of the Blind took to Capitol Hill to present to congress. I 
suggest that as many of you get on board with this by contacting your 
congressman and asking him/her to support this bill once it drops and 
get a bill number and assigned to a committee. The more of us diabetics 
let congress know of the seriourness of accessibility of medical home 
equipment it will get them to get the U.S. Access Board to work on 
developing guidelines for manufacturers to design accessibility into 
their products.

As many of you are aware, diabetes is one of the highest and leading 
causes of blindness.

If you have more questions about this legislative priority, I suggest 
that you contact someone in the Government Affairs Section in the 
National Office of the National Federation of the Blind, (410) 659-9314.
