Having problems with message search?
Say Colin:
I have been thinking about your passionate post, prior. Clearly a man of intense feeling. And your earlier posts on neuro-diversity (neurodiversity?).
I would love to enlist your energies in looking at this new legislation but with in mind not just the specific chronic pain topic, but the rights and dignity of persons with disabilities at large. What we can do is look at the persons involved on the face of this bill (we can sure talk about unnamed personages, real and artificial entities like corporations too). But just on the face of it I think your analysis would be super on the issue of parsing (analyzing) intended beneficiaries of such legislation.
Yes I am very concerned about people in physical pain, but I think, again, we can grab on to this very current legislation as a model or ectype (a single epitomizing instance as contrasted with an archetype, or broad model of a class). I sure hope you and others are interested because this legislation is right now!
What can we say about the provider/consumer impact (accepting now for operational purposes this distinction, and even meta-discussing it if interesting) differentially? Balanced?.
Best wishes to all, on a nice mild and not too hot (yet) day in NY; and hoping 2 hear from you from where you 'nest while you net.'

Subject: [DisabilityConvention] Chronic Pain: Legislation - Idea: we can Study/Discuss the Stakeholders re Rights and Duties.
The Bill numbers to type in (each separately to retrieve details) are:
HR 2507 (Chief Sponsor: Hooley) ;
HR 1863 (Chief Sponsor: Rogers) . .
They are both apparently now under consideration, the latter reported as having more data analysis clauses. (to be studied)..
How do you see the roles and access issues shaping up here? One of several thematically related laws under study now. Much to discuss; related links to be posted; sending best wishes, LindaMF.
