Jun 20, 2003

65 consumer and provider groups - such as the Paralyzed Veterans of America and the American Foundation for the Blind - have launched the Independence Through Enhancement of Medicare and Medicaid (ITEM) coalition. The ITEM Coalition will target policies under Medicare and Medicaid that hinder 2.5 million Americans living with disabilities and other chronic disabling conditions from obtaining needed assistive equipment.
