To protect society from the insane, feebleminded and physically defective, states invested enormous public capital in institutions, often scattered in remote areas. Into this state-created disability gulag people disappeared, one by one. Today, more than 1.7 million mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, are lost in America's disability gulag." (NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE) The author, a disabled-rights activist, argues against state-sponsored institutionalization for those with severe disabilities, noting that allowing Medicaid to finance in-home services would not only make the funds go further but would give recipients greater freedom to live more normal lives.
