One of the biggest hinderances to physically disabled people getting jobs is
unless they are really lucky to get good insurance, they can't afford to
leave their health insurance and housing to get an entry level job making
7.50 an hour. I hope some of the new proposals for portability will help
folks out.

That was interesting. I hope it means that all disabled people will be
allowed to work and not just a few of the chosen disabled people. It really
sucks when mentally retared people can get a job and physically handicapped
people aren't allowed to work. That's how I feel.
