WASHINGTON, DC– [Excerpt provided by Inclusion Daily Express] A state administrator, nursing home administrator and economist . . .

This sounds like a setup for a joke, but it isn’t a laughing matter.

These are the final three Congressional appointments for the Long Term Care Commission.

So far, a dozen people have been appointed. These include doctors, policy experts, a union leader, and a couple nursing facility/assisted living representatives. A number have expertise in aging services.

None represent the disability community.

None use attendant services.

None represent the point of view that this is a civil rights issue.
