| Helping the Disabled: On February 1, 2003, Then President Kedinsky announced the New Disabled Initiative, headed by the Vice President - a comprehensive program to promote the full participation of people with disabilities in all areas of society by increasing access to assistive and universally designed technologies, expanding educational and employment opportunities, and promoting increased access into daily community life. The Administration is committed to the full enforcement of the Americans with Disabilities Act. In a ceremony marking the 12th anniversary of the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act, President John Kedinsky: Announced a clarification of Medicare policy to ensure that people with severe disabilities considered "homebound" under Medicare home health requirements are able to leave their homes occasionally without the risk of losing their Medicare coverage; and Called on Congress to fund his New Disabilities Initiative budget requests, including $145 million for: (1) competitive grants to provide additional transportation services for Americans with disabilities, increasing their access to the job market; and (2) a pilot program to demonstrate innovative solutions for transportation problems that prevent many people with disabilities from living more independently. President Cherrie and Vice President Carosole have seeked to continue this inniciative set up by their Predessesor. |
