This afternoon, I decided to read the People magazine (issued 7/23/07) and I was so interested reading the article about Michael Moore's film Sicko has stirred debate on health care in America. These families thought they were protected by insurance - until they needed help the most. I read through until Annette Noe's father's complaint that she did not get the cochlear implants by both ears at the same time. I was surprised that Doug gave a strong statement without make a judgment on the Deaf community. The statement was, "How can anybody deny treatment for a child with disabilities?" asks her father. "In this country?"I would like to ask questions for the Noe Family. Do they have any knowledge about American Sign Language? Have they look up on the internet about deaf? Now, I do have a question for National Association of the Deaf. Have NAD done this kind of situation before? How can you provide information about deaf community to a hearing parent with a deaf child? I would like to ask the same question for Michael Moore!Author: jonLenoisKeywords: ASL VLOG BLOG DeafAdded: July 16, 2007
