‘The most vulnerable people in our society’: Dáil hears medical card horror stories
The medical card in Ireland is given to those with extensive medical needs for free care, or those whose income falls below a certain level. A FULL medical card covers GP visit, eye doctors, some dental care, cover for medication, physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy...etc
A GP card only lets you see a GP free. All else you have to pay for.
Seeing a GP costs from 55euro to 75e depends where you live or GP.
A disabled woman challenges the 'status quo' in Ireland. This blog was started to highlight inequality, abuse and injustice in the lives of disabled people. The wooden spoon was given to me when I graduated (PhD) as I'm known to 'stir up' and get things done. I'm still stirring from my wheelchair...Justice for disabled people demands we 'stir-up' complacency, injustice, inequality lack of services, and scapegoating . Disabled people deserve rights not charity! "Nothing about me without me!"
