Northern Regional Center for Independent Living (NRCIL) will be holding our next monthly Systems Advocacy Meeting April 5, 2017 from 10:00 – 11:00 am at our Lowville office, 7632 North State Street, Lowville, New York 13367. These meetings are free and open to the public and are designed to discuss and promote an improved quality of life for people with disabilities. We address local, regional and national issues that affect the well-being of persons with disabilities. If you have a topic to discuss please join us. On the agenda this month is: The Community Frist Choice Option (CFCO) was the result of decades of advocacy by Disability Community! A stand-alone program passed along with Affordable Care Act. Proposals to repeal the ACA have eliminated CFCO without any discussion. This would eliminate accessibility standards for Medical Diagnostic Equip. & insurance protections for people with pre-existing conditions.
