Today, we mourn the passing of The Mother of Disability Rights, Judy Heumann. To say she left this world a better place is an understatement—Judy Heumann is the one who blazed the trail for disability rights. (1/?) #RestInPower #JudyHeumann #DisabilityRights #DisabilityAdvocate

To the left is white text “Judy Heumann 12/18/47-3/4/23 Rest in Power.” A white Diversability symbol sits in the upper right corner.

1/ Medical Debt- a holiday story A few years ago, I found myself poring over a printout of ED frequent fliers with a PCP in Mississippi. The office manager knew why they were going to the ED. “They’re not going to show their faces here. They all owe us money.”
