[Nfbc-info] Long-term Healthcare

[Lauren Merryfield]

Hi,
Years ago, the NFB of Nebraska worked with the dpt. of insurance to outlaw 
charging blind people more.  They are aware that there is no actuarial 
evidence to prove that blind people are a higher liability risk.
Thanks
Lauren

advice from my cats: "meow when you feel like it."
The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be
understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them.
