Something that comes as a surprise to many Europeans on HN: healthcare in the United States is not free. Doctor's notes cost money. Uber drivers are, by definition, poor, and do not have health insurance.
Should drivers with life-threatening allergies be expected to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars extracting a deposition from a medical professional to avoid being killed by a dog?
- vkou 6y agoGreat, I guess we'll have to gate ADA compliance on overhauling the entire US healthcare system, first. Heaven forbid someone has to do work in the same environment as a blind person with a service animal. Until we do, are there any other forms of work that you feel that an employee/contractor/etc. should be able to shirk by claiming that they have a medical condition, without providing a shred of evidence thereof? A medical note for a chronic, life-threatening condition is a sufficient, and reasonable requirement, and is good from years to decades.
