Response to Political Attacks on Social Security Disability

Debra Shifrin, an Akron attorney, is the president of the National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives. She responds to recent political attacks on Social Security Disability in this linked column:
"More than 14 million American workers depend on the Social Security Disability Insurance program for life-sustaining funds needed to help pay their basic living expenses. Yet recent media attacks have tried to color opinions of this effective social insurance program that provides much-needed economic security and access to health care for individuals whose impairments are so severe that they cannot work."
