The "double punishment" of disabled and sick challenged France
" Despite the disability law in February 2005, many sick and disabled continue to face discrimination in insurance that prevents them from contracting loans, "wrote Le Figaro in its edition yesterday. A situation which is nothing specific to France. And that when Jacques Chirac made the integration of the disabled a priority of his five years. Therefore, says the Paris daily, " bankers, insurers and patients' associations were asked to 'negotiate' by the end of June a new agreement to end the discrimination against the loan. A double penalty to which convicts are tens of thousands of French who, in addition to endure a disability or disease, should undergo this outrage that prohibits any proposed life. "
