Subject: Medical Insurrance perchases of adaptive technology
Hello Greg and listers,
last night I read your article in the November issue of the Braille
monitor concerning the perchase of closed circuit tvs by medical
insurrance providers such as medicare and medicade.  Now I  am wondering
if using the definitions, and criteria you gave in that article if there
would be grounds for having these same providers pay for other types of
adaptive technology; speech synthesizers, screen reading software, Braille
Displays etc.  I'll be interested in hearing your answer on this question;
either up here, or in a follow-up article in the Braille Monitor.  Take
care and happy hollidays.
Peter Donahue
