Description
We've got a lot to share with you in 2024!

There are a bunch of cases in the courts this year that have the potential to change Americans' access to care, and restrict the power of federal health agencies. And nearly 25 years after a landmark case, declaring that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities have a right to live outside state-run institutions, we examine how doctors, hospitals and insurers are failing many of them … and one woman's work to forge a better path.
