Attacks on the ADA
- We need to remain vigilant in protecting against attacks on the ADA. They come from many directions, business, the healthcare industry, extreme conservative groups, etc.
- We also need to constantly monitor the opportunities/needs to enhance or update this legislation - concerning things like online abuse, genetic manipulation and artificial intelligence.
