I can really only speak to my experience, so I want to be cautious, but I can tell you that I have had this conversation with folks from across the country. To say somebody is being discriminated against, I think, implies a deliberate type of neglect or a deliberate type of harm. I would suggest that's not happening. But I do think that the issue is that there is a lack of recognition for the severity of these conditions, period. Because of that, we just simply don't have the resources that we might need, and in particular the resources we need for the most gravely ill.
