accessibility statement

The Voice for the Uninsured website is committed to making all of our Internet documents accessible to everyone. To ensure that we meet or exceed the requirements of the 1998 Amendment to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, we continually review our site and modify pages to remove accessibility problems for people with disabilities. If you have any comments or feedback regarding our accessibility improvements of the site, please .

Many documents on our web pages are in ASCII or HTML format, accessible to people who use screen reading software and to those with other vision or mobility impairments. Generally, we use Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) to create pages and documents that are accessible to that segment of our customer base. In creating HTML documents, we follow Section 508 standards; for example, we include alternate text to describe graphics.

Currently, our website also contains documents in Adobe Acrobat PDF (Portable Document Format) files; and right now, many people who use screen reading devices can`t read them. To solve that problem, Adobe Systems, Inc. is developing several products designed to make PDF documents more accessible to screen reading software. Adobe's accessibility web pages at http://www.adobe.com/accessibility describe their efforts.
