Well, yes, but we don't want the ADA language to become so restrictive that basic decisions are taken out of our hands, such as whether to apply for a job or not. I certainly would not want an employer to come along and say I was out of a job because I had a greater chance of a heart attack due to stress or that I should not be working because I could fall and break my leg, which could conceiveably be a danger to my well-being and health, just to protect future workers compensation expenses. Unfortunately, as Kyle pointed out earlier, I can see employers taking yesterday's Supreme Court decision to the other end of the limits.
Remember that all too often, the bottom line determines the actions, not fairness.

This is why the ADA is TOO inclusive. and why proff of a disability should be
required.
