Access to transition-related health care among transmasculine people in India
Little research has examined the health care experiences of transmasculine people in India, where government initiatives to improve access to transition-related (also called gender-affirmative) care have recently been announced. We draw on data from ‘ Our Health Matters’, a mixed-methods community-based participatory research project, to characterize the transition-related care experiences of transmasculine people in India. Peer researchers condu…
Consumer Direction, Consumer Choice, and the Future of Long-Term Care
Traditionally, our long-term care system has had a strong institutional bias, with care directed by health care professionals and few options for consumers. There is now a growing trend toward consumer direction and consumer choice in long-term care. Some degree of consumer direction can be achieved under different models of long-term care, but many consumers prefer the independent living model in which they hire, train, and manage their own pers…

A call for civility in the disability/assisted suicide debate
The New Paternalism
The contention by some disability rights advocates that people with disabilities are an oppressed minority must be subject to academic scrutiny. Certainly, people with different impairments and functional limitations have been subject to a history of discrimination, much of which has been state supported. Yet, this does not mean that the entire disabled population is now and will forever be an oppressed minority. This article examines the concept…
Are People with Disabilities an Oppressed Minority, and Why Does This Matter
The Financial Vulnerability of People with Disabilities
The economic self-sufficiency and independence of people with disabilities depend largely on their capacity to maintain financial stability. As a group, such individuals have among the highest poverty rates, lowest educational levels, lowest average incomes, and highest out-of-pocket expenses of all population groups. Any substantial shock to the financial stability of people with disabilities can threaten their access to necessary housing, nutri…
The Americans With Disabilities Act
People with disabilities encounter substantial barriers to voting. Narrow interpretations by regulatory agencies and the courts indicate that the Americans With Disabilities Act will not be able to remove these barriers. Additional policies will be necessary to overcome the structural impediments to exercising the fundamental right to vote
The Americans With Disabilities Act as Engine of Social Change
The Americans With Disabilities Act, based on the civil rights/minority group and independent living models of disability, may enhance access to health care, personal assistance, employment, the electoral process, and smoke‐free environments for people with disabilities. However, this essential law cannot resolve these key issues. Supplemental theoretical and policy approaches will be necessary to promote fundamental change
So far so good
So far so good
The Supreme Court recognized that states may serve as social laboratories for developing procedures permitting physician-assisted suicide. Oregon has served as the first such laboratory. First-year results suggest the feasibility of implementing a statutory right to physician-assisted suicide successfully in this country, without abuse or negative incident
Disability, Oppression, and Autonomy
Ideology and Independent Living
The prospect of a conservative revolution has raised the anxiety of the predominantly liberal disability leadership. Whether the diverse disability community shares the policy objectives of the leadership, and its concern over the conservative agenda, is not clear. This article considers four major branches of the conservative movement—fiscal conservatism, the federalist movement, social and religious conservatism, and libertarianism—and their co…
From Disability Rolls to Payrolls
Substantial growth in the Social Security disability programs, and the failure of work incentive legislation to curtail this growth, have demonstrated the need for structural reform. This proposal, based on a functional model of disability, would create four categories of benefits: a permanent disability pension, a temporary disability benefit providing cash payments to the vast majority of beneficiaries for a 3-year period (extendable under cert…
Relating Disability Policy to Broader Public Policy
While it is recognized that disability policy is a subset of broader public policy, the relationship between disability issues and other public policy issues is not well understood. Insight into this relationship can be gained through a greater understanding of the concept of “handicap,” as distinguished from the concepts of “impairment” and “disability.” In everyday conversation, these terms typically are used interchangeably and erroneously. Ho…
The Americans with Disabilities Act and the Current State of U.S. Disability Policy
The passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) reflects a new stage in American disability policy. However, important policy issues that pre-date the passage of ADA remain unresolved. The most important concern policy assumptions that have guided various disability income and medical assistance programs since their inception in the 1950s and 1960s. The most detrimental assumption is that, to be eligible for income or medical assistance,…
Developing a Comprehensive Health Services Research Capacity in Physical Disability and Rehabilitation
The lack of an adequate capacity for policy-oriented disability research in the United States has hampered decision making in all aspects of disability policy. This article considers the development of a comprehensive Health Services Research (HSR) capacity in physical disability and rehabilitation, which would examine the organization, provision, and financing of health care services for persons with physical disabilities. Despite the substantia…
