Thats againist the law!
Hi AuqaMadain,
Thats not fair!!
Your rights are being taken away from you.
The ADA Law says no one should refuse you or any deaf or HOH person to have an interpreter.
I known sign lanaguage for 29 yrs. and I'm interpreter myself.
Alot of doctors refuse to pay the interperter,and most all interperters are expensive!!
I'm talking $25.00 and up an hour!!!
I don't believe any deaf or HOH should have to pay that.
But a doctor can afford it.
Thats why I charge $10.00 an hour.
