 Health care for people with disabilities 

 __28% of people that have disabilities are not covered by their insurance and 7% of people that do not have disabilities are not covered by their insurance. __ There was a case where a deaf person was denied classes for sign language because the insurer did not believe that it was rehabilitative. This is why I believe that people with disabilities need a lot of help and someone needs to stand up for them. People need to stop sitting back and letting this happen to good people that really need the help. The people with disabilities really need the help but yet people that just want drugs can get more help than a person that really needs help and they get denied I just don’t understand that at all. __Over 54 million people in the United States live with a disability. __ That is a lot of people that are not being taken care of properly. People that have disabilities need more help than most people just do to the face that they can’t work and they can’t make their own money. __24.5% of adults living in the community have some type of a disability.__ If you look around there is some one that lives by you that has a disability and needs a lot of help because they can’t do things on their own. __Most people with disabilities are often smokers, overweight, or physically inactive. __ You do see a lot of people that live with a disability have at least one of those things. __Diabetes, asthma, arthritis, and cardiovascular disease is two or three times more higher for people with disabilities__. If you look at everything you will see some of these things in people that have a disability but yet at the same time these things can happen to anyone not just to people that have major problems.
