Universal Healthcare

By Rachael Mellen

In this general election year, the topic of healthcare has become one of the main issues. Per capita spending on healthcare in the U.S. is 53% more than any other country in the world, yet many middle-income people remain without healthcare. Studies show that the price-tag for healthcare is higher for specific procedures than in other countries, but the quality of healthcare is not demonstrably better. (www.commonwealthfund.org)

Single Payer System

As reported in an earlier newsletter, many advocacy organizations are calling for a single-payer system. In essence, this would extend a Medicare-type system to all Americans, eliminating the middle-man: that is, the insurance companies. The cost of the red-tape (currently about 1/3 of the cost of healthcare) would be cut dramatically. There would be no upfront payments by the patient, such as co-pays or deductibles. Unfortunately, neither of the presidential candidates is committed to a single-payer system, but what exactly is each one proposing to do?

What the Candidates have in Common

Both McCain and Obama favor reining in the drug companies to lower the cost of prescriptions. They also agree on the need for portability when moving between jobs, coordination of care to improve outcomes, and the need for support for people with autism. On most other issues, they differ widely. Senator McCain has a series of proposals but does not call them a “plan,” while Senator Obama has drafted the outline of a new healthcare system.

Senator McCain’s Proposals

According to his campaign website, John McCain favors a system in which healthcare would be available to all and not limited by where you work or how much you make. Some of the highlights are:

n Tax credits of $2,500 to $5,000 to offset the cost of insurance. “Families will be able to choose the insurance provider that suits them best and the money would be sent directly to the insurance provider.”

n Employer-based coverage would remain an option.

n Increase competition to improve the quality of healthcare and make insurance available across state lines.

n Healthcare Savings Accounts – people can deposit any of the tax credit remaining after they purchase their insurance (assuming there is any left).

n He will work with the states to formulate Guaranteed Access Plans to highly vulnerable populations – perhaps people with disabilities will fall into this category, but this is not stated explicitly.

n Reform Medicare and Medicaid so that they are not paying for preventable errors or mismanagement, for example. In other words, cut costs.

n Promote smoking-cessation programs.

n End frivolous medical liability lawsuits.

n Encourage long-term care options in the community such as use of PA’s.

For more information, go to www.johnmccain.com.

Senator Obama’s Proposals

Barack Obama proposes a new national health plan so anyone can buy “affordable health coverage that is similar to the plan available to members of Congress.” It seems that this would be for people not covered by employer plans. It features:

n Guaranteed eligibility – no-one can be denied.

n Comprehensive benefits.

n Affordable premiums, co-pays, and deductibles.

n Subsidies for families and individuals who do not qualify for Medicaid or SCHIP. This implies that premiums could be high.

n Expansion eligibility for Medicaid and SCHIP.

n Simplified paperwork.

n Easy enrollment.

n Mandatory coverage of all children up to the age of 25.

n Work with states that have already begun their own healthcare initiatives.

Secondly, an Obama administration would create a National Health Insurance Exchange, a watchdog group to provide oversight to the private insurance companies not in the national plan. This would protect people with employer-based coverage from exclusions, caps, etc.

Other components include modernizing the healthcare system by ensuring delivery of quality medical care, “full transparency” about the true costs and quality, and investment in electronic health information technology systems. The Obama plan also includes funding for biomedical research, greater funding for the fight against AIDS worldwide, and the strengthening of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). He would improve mental healthcare by providing coverage at the same level as for other health problems.

The new system would be funded by contributions from large employers: small businesses would be exempt but get a tax credit to help reduce healthcare costs for them.

The Power of Your Vote

By Cynthia Panizzi

Because this is an election year, IVCIL has been encouraging our consumers and other people with disabilities to register to vote and to go out and vote on November 4th. It has been said that people with disabilities are the “silent majority.” This needs to change! In terms of politics, power is demonstrated by money and votes. Since Americans with disabilities have the lowest voter turnout, this means that we have the least power! How can this problem be solved? Get-out-the-vote – Americans with disabilities must vote! Elected officials in Springfield, Illinois and Washington, DC work for us, the people; therefore, we need to vote for the officials of our choosing.

IVCIL has been involved in a get-out-the-vote campaign. All of our direct services staff are deputy registrars, and we have been busy this year registering people to vote. Since January, 2008, I have been attending meetings in Springfield with the Illinois Disability Vote Committee, a group of advocates throughout Illinois working together to ensure polling places are accessible and strategizing ways to get people with disabilities to vote. I have also been working with the county clerks from each of the five counties we serve to enlighten them about the barriers people with disabilities face regarding voting. IVCIL staff will also be attending the training for election judges throughout the five counties we serve and will be providing disability etiquette training so election judges feel comfortable interacting with and providing support to voters with disabilities on Election Day. At the end of October, IVCIL will spend two evenings calling people with disabilities to encourage them to vote.

So, IVCIL strongly encourages people with disabilities to make their voice heard by voting in the upcoming election and every election!

YOUTH CONNECTION

By Marla Michalak

Teen Social

On Friday, August 22, IVCIL had our Teen Social, “Back to School Game Night” in the IVCIL conference room. We had a great time playing board games. We had a snack and a discussion about being back in school and making good choices.

“Parent’s Afternoon Out” Support Group

We had our quarterly Parent Support Group for parents of children with any type of disability on Friday August 22, 2008 at 1:00 pm in the IVCIL conference room. We had a relaxing time of playing table games, having a snack, and discussing the joys & frustrations of living with a child who has a disability. Since this meeting was not very well attended, we will be changing it to “Parents Morning Out” and try it from 9:30am – 11:30am on a Friday in November. This will be a morning out for parents with games and socialization.

Parent & Community Training News

I would like to extend a big Thank You to Patti Conway of L.E.A.S.E., for presenting the “Preparing the Student for Success in School with Effective Accommodations and Modifications” training on Thursday, September18, 2008 in the Centennial Courts Community room in LaSalle. CPDU’s were offered. It was very informative and well attended.

Zac Browser for Children with Autism*

Never underestimate the power and love of grandparents for promoting the strengths and abilities of their grandchildren! John LeSieur, a software designer and grandfather of Zackary, a 6 year old with autism, wanted to make the computer accessible to Zackary so LeSieur created the “Zac Browser for Autistic Children.” The Zac Browser is free and available online. LeSieur saw how frustrated his grandson became when using the computer because his choices were so immense and there were so many competing distractions to deal with. Sometimes Zac would throw the computer mouse in frustration and would be unable to access programs and activities that were within his capabilities and interests. The small software company run by LeSieur, People CD Inc., designed the Zac Browser specifically to meet Zac’s needs. The browser reduces the controls available, disables extraneous keyboard buttons, and turns off the right button on the mouse. It eliminates some of the frustration children might experience from clicking in the wrong places. It replaces icons with larger picture symbols and changes the view so that ads and flashing distractions are eliminated. The Zac Browser simplifies the experience of using a computer and seals off most Web sites from view to block violent, sexual or adult-oriented material. Some children with autism and other disabilities experience difficulty with communication, sensory stimulus, and following multi-step directions. Using the Zac Browser, LeSieur’s grandson who is unable to speak much, is able to independently operate the computer to listen to music and manipulate puzzles and games. No doubt when LeSieur developed a tool that increased his grandson’s independence, he at the same time created options for other young computer users who have disabilities. The Zac Browser can be downloaded or run directly from www.zacbrowser.com.

Computer Simulation Helps Young Children Learn Conflict-resolution Skills*

A computer game designed to teach non-violence and conflict resolution skills to young children has found a home with Curriki, the nonprofit collection of open online curricular materials available for downloading free of charge. The computer game, called “Cool School: Where Peace Rules,” features animated school characters in situations that ask children ages 5-7 to select an action for resolving a potential conflict, such as others crowding in line, refusing to share, or treating playmates disrespectfully. Developed by the U.S. Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service in cooperation with child development programs at the University of Maryland, the University of Southern California, and the University of North Texas, Cool School was tested at school locations in Illinois. The game is designed to teach children about conflict resolution in a lively, fun, entertaining, and developmentally appropriate context. The curriculum can be downloaded for free from the website: http://www.curriki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Demo/coolschool

Deaf Services Corner

By Christine Guisti

Deaf Services Upcoming Workshop And Support Group/Social Event

IVCIL will be hosting a workshop on C.A.R.T. (Communication Access Real-time Translation). The workshop will be on Saturday, November 8that 11:00 am. Presenting the workshop is CART reporter Ann Pellican. Ann is from our area and works at a college campus.

After the workshop, please join us for IVCIL’s Deaf Support Group/Social Event at Pizza Hut in Peru. Thank you to all who attended our last IVCIL support group/social event in June at La Grotto’s Pizza in Peru. We had a great crowd and a good time!

What Exactly Is CART?

Communication Access Real-time Translation (CART) is the instant translation of any type of lecture, meeting, class, appointment, etc. The CART reporter listens to the speaker and then types the keys to make the speaker’s words appear on a computer screen or other display. They do this by using a stenotype machine, notebook computer, and real-time software. This technology is primarily used by people who are late-deafened, oral deaf, hard-of-hearing, or who have cochlear implants. Individuals who are culturally deaf also make use of CART in certain situations. Please keep in mind that CART is also often referred to as real-time captioning.

The Americans with Disabilities Act specifically recognizes CART as a form of assistive technology that gives “effective communication access.” Communication access is a good way to describe the duties that a CART provider gives to clients and is different from real-time reporting in a court room.

Communication Access Real-time Translation is a growing profession, and the available technology used with CART is rapidly becoming advanced.

For more information on this great workshop and the support group/social event afterwards, you can call IVCIL at 815-224-3126 V/TTY, VP200 at 815-244-8275, or email dsc@ivcil.com. Flyers will be sent out closer to the date of the event.

Hospital Trainings For Needs Of People Who Are Deaf And Hard Of Hearing

IVCIL has been training area hospital staff to educate them on the right steps to take when having a patient who is deaf and in their care. We discuss interpreter rights, how to contact interpreters, what to do if an interpreter cannot be found, and what to do if the person uses other methods instead of an interpreter. IVCIL has been scheduling meeting dates with area hospitals, going to the hospitals, and then training the staff with a PowerPoint presentation on how to work with ALL disabilities. As Deaf Services Coordinator, I have been focusing much time on providing education about people with hearing loss and how to best make communication accessible. PLEASE remember your accommodation rights, whether it be an interpreter or any other means. Also PLEASE request that the hospital get CERTIFIED interpreters with the State of Illinois. You as the patient should NEVER be charged for this service, nor should your insurance company be charged. The payment for interpreters is the responsibility of the hospital. You should NEVER be denied services due to the need for reasonable accommodations. Also please remember that interpreters that are EIPA licensed are not qualified to do freelance interpreting. If the hospital staff claims to not have any resources to find interpreters, please refer them to the following list:

PERSONAL ASSISTANT PROGRAM NEWS

New Contract For The Union For Personal Assistants

By Megan Brue

SEIU (Service Employee International Union) Healthcare Illinois & Indiana is a union that represents over 40,000 home and healthcare workers. They are part of a larger national union. The SEIU represents 25,000 personal assistants who are employed by persons with disabilities. The union fights for living wages, healthcare, and quality of care. According to the SEIU, the average personal assistant makes $13,000/year. Fifty percent of these personal assistants do not have health insurance, which is why it is necessary to advocate for benefits and higher wages. Regardless of whether or not a personal assistant pays member fees, they still reap the benefits of the labor union. However, all personal assistants do pay some fees to the union. Non-members pay 2.3% of their gross pay, and members pay 2.8%.

On May 27, 2008, the State of Illinois signed a new contract agreement with SEIU which is designed to raise standards and begin to create a fund for health benefits for some members of the union. Union members feel that the recent wage increase from $9.35 to $9.85 and these health benefits will help slow worker turnover. This wage increase started on July 1, 2008. Over the next fours years, wages will increase gradually to $11.55/hour, and a fund of more than $55 million will be established for healthcare benefits. A training fund will also be given to the labor union for 25,000 employees. As a personal assistant working through the Division of Rehabilitation Services, personal assistants can choose to be part of this union when they become employed.

Healthcare benefits are scheduled to begin in mid-2010 but will only be available for an estimated 5,000 to 10,000 employees. Eligibility will be based on the number of hours that the personal assistant works. This is a strong victory for SEIU, but they strive to get benefits for all their members. The union will also be forming a statewide personal assistant registry by 2010.

So what are the benefits of being a member versus a non-member? I asked this question recently to employees of the union. They explained that members have the right to vote on who officers are in the union. Union members are also the first persons to be called for rallies which are typically held in Springfield and Chicago, but they do mobilize advocacy efforts in other parts of Illinois as well. Congratulations to the union and the personal assistants on their victories!

IVCIL Advocacy Efforts

Buffalo Inn in LaMoille

By Cynthia Panizzi

I have continued trying to work with the owner of the Buffalo Inn Restaurant so it is accessible and compliant with state and federal law. The owner has informed me that she is financially unable to modify the building to make it accessible. Therefore, I gave her the name and number of a business that builds ramps and charges only for the material. The owner stated that she understands that as a “public accommodation,” the restaurant is required to be accessible, but if she gets a ramp, then she would have to make the restrooms accessible and she is financially unable to do that and will just have to close the restaurant. I explained that I am trying to work with her to assist her in keeping her business open and become compliant with applicable laws. After calling the Disability Rights Bureau of the Illinois Attorney General’s Office and explaining the situation, I was told that their office works with business owners to explore more options to become accessible, but in order for their office to do that, they would have to receive a complaint. Hence, I filed a complaint with the Disability Rights Bureau to explore more options for financial assistance. Please watch for our next newsletter to find out the result.

First State Bank of LaMoille

By Cynthia Panizzi

I have remained in contact with the attorney for First State Bank of LaMoille and faxed him the section of the Illinois Accessibility Code pertaining to accessible parking and entrances. He informed me that he and the vice-president of the Board of Directors have looked at the bank’s parking lot and entrance and will present a proposal to the Board of Directors of what needs to be done.

I will continue my efforts to remain in contact with the attorney for First State Bank of LaMoille to ensure the bank becomes compliant and accessible to everyone.

Dairy Queen, Peru

By Cynthia Panizzi

I am very happy to let you know that Dairy Queen is now accessible. After working with the owner, he has installed a doorbell by the outside door and has instructed his current staff that they need to open the door when someone rings the bell. He agreed to instruct new employees that they are required to open the door when they hear the doorbell. The owner has also added two accessible tables, each with four moveable chairs, so that people using wheelchairs can use the tables. He has also made each restroom complaint with the Illinois Accessibility Code.

IVCIL thanks the owner for his cooperation in becoming compliant with the law and therefore accessible to people with disabilities!

Kmart Accessible Parking Improvements

By Brian Szuda

IVCIL would like to recognize the Kmart store in Peru for resurfacing their accessible parking spaces and for properly adding access aisles and signs. The store also redid its entrance and made the ramps more accessible and safer for individuals with disabilities when entering or leaving the store. Congratulations, Kmart!

Peru Public Library Strives for Improved Accessibility

By Rachael Mellen

The Peru Public Library moved to its current location in 1985. The move was made in part because the historic Carnegie Library on Putnam Street could no longer meet the needs of modern library service. The librarian at that time, Carl Beery, was far-sighted, seeking grants from the State of Illinois to supplement local funds. The design therefore incorporated several features for people with disabilities, such as an elevator and wide doors.

Over the years, the library has developed substantial large-print and audio collections for people with vision impairments. Participation in the Prairie Area Library System allows patrons access to an even wider range of these materials. Peru Public Library has also welcomed volunteering by people with disabilities.

Librarian Mary Jean Hauger and the Library Board want to update the building to bring the Peru Public Library into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Illinois State Library Standards. The following areas are being addressed:

n The elevator: Ms. Hauger approached the Peru City Council during the summer, indicating that the elevator needs to be brought up to current ADA standards. The City Council indicated they would provide financial support for this upgrade.

n The lack of power doors at the entrances: Ms. Hauger requested that IVCIL measure the weight of the entrance doors, and this was completed. The search for a solution is ongoing.

n Proximity of accessible parking: the library was built on a slope, so accessible parking nearer the main entrance is not possible. Currently patrons can gain access through the Children’s Room in the basement, as this is the area closest to accessible parking, but if the Children’s Room is closed, they have to press a call-button for a staff member. This is not always a very efficient process, especially when staff is very busy.

IVCIL applauds the Peru Public Library for its efforts and looks forward to a continuing partnership in the quest to improve library services for people with disabilities.
