[nfb-talk] Medical feeding tube not accessible to a member

[Mike Freeman]

Moreover, our accessibility laws really don't cover durable medical devices.

Yes we have those laws,  and yet almost all TV systems are still not
accessible. Blind people are still having trouble with accessibility  in
schools and with their jobs. I agree that the political climate is not good
for passing good solid laws at this time and I think it will be a while
before we see any serious improvement.

In recent years, Congress has given us an improved ADA and the Twenty-First
Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act. The Supreme Court signed
off on accessible currency. I don't think the political climate is anywhere
near the impediment to progress that you make it out to be.
