President Clinton will ask for $2 billion over five years to he lp tens of
thousands of disabled Americans return to work by making it easier for them to
keep their health insurance and to improve rehabilitation
services.
The announcement, expected today, will call for tax
credits to help disabled w orkers pay for transportation, equipment and
other expenses and more money to develop new information and communications
technologies to help people with disabilities function in the workplace.

health insurance and yet their disabilities make it expensive
to buy coverage on their own.
