title: Justice in the allocation of public resources to disabled citizens.
abstract: This paper examines several crucial questions concerning justice in the allocation of public resources to disabled citizens. It challenges the current failure to means-test certain programs, and it argues that fundamental choices about levels of funding and about priorities in nonentitlement programs cannot be justified without a better theory of social justice.
