We're celebrating @HHSGov’s new proposed rules to strengthen anti-discrimination laws and improve access to health care for people with disabilities. 🎉 This is the first time in more than 40 years that @HHSOCR has updated regulations for Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
Today @HHSGov through @HHSOCR announced a proposed rule, updating its regulation implementing Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, that prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability. Join our live press conference at 12PM for more updates! hhs.gov/live/live-1/in…
As advocates for older adults, we celebrate the disability rights community's decades of advocacy to modernize these regulations to benefit people with disabilities of all ages! We will work to ensure the final rule is strong and fully enforced. #DisabilityRights are #CivilRights
So excited about the proposed updates to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act! The new provisions will make health care more accessible and prevent disability discrimination. Thank you @HHSGov @SecBecerra, @AAPD @maria_m_town, and everyone else involved in this historic day.
Once enacted, this rule will be one the most substantial federal advancements towards health equity and access for disabled people in American history.
Now, we are closing out the HHS briefing by hearing from AAPD President and CEO @maria_m_town!! Maria shares how the judgements and discrimination of physicians early in life shaped the expectations the rest of the world had of her.
Discrimination can shape every single aspect of a disabled person’s life. During the COVID pandemic, discrimination took our lives, and shrunk the lives of those it did not kill. Discrimination against disabled people kills. Civil rights are about safety, respect, and life.
The Aging and Disability Vaccination Collaborative, funded by @ACLgov, has distributed funding to numerous organizations across the #AgingNetwork to help #OlderAdults and people with disabilities get vaccinated. Watch our new video to learn more: ow.ly/IUig50PunQE.
