Signed onto letter, led by the CCD Transportation Task Force, to Senator Tammy Baldwin, in support of the Air Carrier Access Amendments Act of 2017, her bill, S.1318. Congressional staff with U.S. Representative Jim Langevin's (D-RI-02) office discussed air travel for people with disabilities and related policy issues with United Spinal and other disability stakeholders. United Spinal, along with numerous disability organizations, signed on to an Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) working group letter to the U.S. Department of Transportation expressing concern with the revised service animal policies announced by Delta Air Lines and United Airlines (United) in January. The letter read in part: We believe that these policies, which are slated to go into effect on March 1, are inconsistent with the Department of Transportations regulations implementing the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) (14 C.F.R 382) and the Departments Guidance Concerning Service Animals in Air Transportation, [68 Fed. Reg. 24,874 (May 9, 2003)]. Consequently, the Department must deem these revised policies to be in violation of the ACAA and advise Delta and United accordingly. United Spinal, along with numerous other disability organizations, signed on to a Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities (CCD) letter to U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin in support of the Air Carriers Access Amendments Act of 2017 (ACAAA). Although the Air Carriers Access Act of 1986 (ACAA) prohibited discrimination based on disability in air travel and despite the ACAA has led to improved access for passengers with disabilities, significant disability-related problems persist in air travel. Travelers with disabilities still encounter damaged equipment, delayed assistance, lack of seating accommodations, and other challenges when traveling by air. Airlines reported receiving more than 30,000 passenger filed disability-related complaints in 2016.

H.R. 2123/S. 925, The Veterans E-Health & Telemedicine Support (VETS) Act of 2017 United Spinal, along with other disability organizations, signed onto a letter to the bipartisan leadership of Congress which introduced the Veterans E-Health & Telemedicine Support (VETS) Act of 2017 to improve the ability of veterans to access care via telehealth by relieving geographic restrictions on telehealth services and promoting access to high quality, coordinated care for all veterans, particularly those in rural areas. United Spinal is a member of the HealthIT Now Coalition which works on telemedicine initiatives at the national and state levels. Proposed Rule, Prosthetic and Rehabilitative Items and Services: This proposed rule would strike and replace Title 38, CFR 17.150, and update 17.3200-3250, by addressing vague and subjectively interpreted language regarding the feasibility and medical need of certain medical equipment and services for disabled veterans, as well as update the currently limited list of such services and items. Submitted comments regarding our support for efforts to improve current policy and benefit disabled veterans. S. 1318, Air Carrier Access Amendments Act: This bill is to amend Title 49 of U.S.C., Section 41705, by addressing the needs of disabled Americans, including veterans, traveling by air, including needed safety training for TSA staff and flight attendants, reasonable accommodations for Americans with spinal cord injuries and/or disease, and accessibility issues throughout the airline industry for such Americans. United Spinal's VetsFirst program sent a letter to the House Veterans Affairs Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity opposing proposed legislation which is designed to diminish the current approved and valuable training and education track for veterans. It would "liquidate" the GI bill and push veterans to end their benefit in 18 months, thus discouraging selection of aviation education programs at approved public universities. United Spinal's VetsFirst program sent a letter of support to Congresswoman Dina Titus (D-NV) specifically in support of her bill HR 3197, which puts an end to research practices at the Department of Veterans Affairs which do not lead to any positive outcomes for veterans. United Spinal's VetsFirst program signed onto a letter in support of S.1318, the Aircraft Carrier Access Amendments Act, and S.1405, the Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Act, which are both designed to expand access measures for disabled aircraft passengers, as well as training requirements for aircraft and TSA personnel in handling disabled passengers and their equipment. United Spinal co-wrote a letter to the Senate stating objections to amendments added to the National Defense Authorization Act bill on the Senate floor that would harm vital defense health research programs specifically initiated to help US soldiers who sustain traumatic brain (TBI) and spinal cord injuries (SCI). The letter was sent to the Senate Armed Services Committee.
