Title: THE DISABILITY CRISIS IN AMERICA IS OUT OF CONTROL
Topic: Americans with Disabilities

Discussed by Robert Taishoff
with Able Americans (National Center for Public Policy Research)

Too many families in America have a loved one with a disability – especially parents with adult-aged children.

Today, new guest Robert Taishoff shares his story - the story of his daughter who is in danger of losing home healthcare services simply for crossing state lines.

Robert is a retired US Navy Captain and the chairman of the Campaign to Fix the Disability System, an initiative of Able Americans.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Many services for the disabled are financed by the Federal Government (our tax dollars), but administered and spent differently by each state? Does this cause roadblocks for those wanting to move to a different state?

Why is each state allowed to set their own specific rules?

Were state-by-state rules and regulations uniformly adopted for Military families, as well? Robert discusses the Care for Military Kids Act.
