Overt discrimination of the past (though it still exists) is now built into our concept of healthcare in many ways.

Use specifics from the articles to back up your claims. CITE at least two articles.undefined

Then use the readings on disability to discuss the difference between Clare’s (and Michael Oliver’s) definition of impairment and disability. Define each using Clare’s article. Explain how they are different.

Provide an example?
