IMACK: Improved Medicare For All Central Kentucky
March 3rd, 2012
Thousands of working Kentuckians pay taxes to fund Medicare yet have no health insurance. A bill now in Congress would extend Medicare to all who need it.
If you want to send Bill Mahan into a rant, ask him about healthcare insurance in the United States. He’s likely to give you an earful, “44,000 die each year that are denied care or cannot afford it,” he says. ”If that many Americans died in Afghanistan in a year, the public outcry would be so great, that we would withdraw from the country.

Mahan is the spokesperson for IMACK, Improved Medicare for All Central Kentucky.

Getting Around in Taxis
February 26th, 2012
The disability discrimination act 1995 introduced new regulations to stop discrimination against disabled passengers this led to local authorities releasing tough bylaws to in force the adjustments. Taxi base operators and cabs now have to facilitate the carriage of guide dogs/working dogs, at no extra expense when required to complete the task by a member of the public. If a cab or taxi base operator declines you because of your impairment take note of the drivers plate number and report it to taxi licensing, licensing has actively taken a strong stance against this.
Section 1 of the Impairment Discrimination Act specifies impairment as A bodily or psychological impairment which has a considerable long-term negative effect on a persons capability to perform normal day to day activities.
A-Z -road maps are crucial when picking up passengers who may be deaf, deafened or now have talk impairment.
