[acb-diabetics] article about accessible meters.

[Mike Freeman]

If the American Diabetes Association does get Federal research grants, then
Section 504 would apply. However, it would be a pretty indirect application
as I don't think ADA does its own research but, rather, funds other research
institutions.

I wonder if the use of ADA wouldn't apply as the American Diabetes
Association is a nonprofit 501C 3 organization. I further do not know if
they get any direct funding from the U.S. government.

Ahem ... I suspect that the Americans with disabilities Act has no
jurisdiction here. We're not talking about access to programs and services
or places of public accommodation here. She should still have a go at her
insurance company but ADA won't help here nor will the 21st Century Video
and Communications Accessibility Act.

Well, in addition to this ridiculous discrimination, I hope someone
challenges the practice of making people send in their meter every three
months so the government can see if we've been good little boys and girls,
testing when we say we do and not selling our strips on the black market for
money so that we can do, ahem, what with a meter? This is a waste of plastic
and terrible environmental stewardship. A meter can last a long time. Think
of how much money somebody would save by not buying all those extra meters.
Dumb! Dumb! Dumb!
But Nancy, Ken is right. I'd look at your insurance policy and file an
appeal according to their rules, in which you explain that you have recourse
with the department of justice according to the Americans with disabilities
act reasonable accommodation provisions. 
Don't let them get away with this. You matter!
