Steve Cohen: U.S. disability rights face pressure over Olmstead decision
Cohen warns on U.S. disability rights

Concerns are being raised about the status of disability rights in the U.S., particularly with respect to the Olmstead decision. Steve Cohen, referencing the legal precedent that grants people with disabilities the qualified right to receive necessary services in their preferred setting, has stated that these rights are now facing threats from the current administration. He noted that this environment prompted the reintroduction of the Latonya Reeves Freedom Act. The focus is on maintaining protections established under Olmstead and ensuring continued access to essential support for people with disabilities.

Cohen has previously raised alarms over proposed policy changes affecting individual rights. He recently cautioned that Republicans sought to reverse gains on contraception rights following renewed U.S. policy debates. Cohen has also advocated for child welfare, urging Tennessee to end the reporting of immigrant families in state programs to federal authorities.
