Editing G.I. Bill (section)

=== Inadequate disability coverage ===
The bill specified that any veteran requiring a prosthetic limb would be entitled to one and the training required to utilize it, as well as limited funding for  custom automobiles and home renovations. Author Bess Williamson highlighted that there were extensive obstacles to veterans receiving prosthetic limbs following the first and second World Wars. These included inadequate types of prosthetics, poor quality of prosthetics, and a high emphasis on societal reintegration that emphasized aesthetics over function.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Williamson |first=Bess |title=Accessible America: A History of Disability and Design |publisher=NYU Press |year=2019 |isbn=9781479894093 |pages=19–42}}</ref> However, the sympathetic perception of veterans, influenced by films like ''Meet McGonegal'' (1944),<ref>Department of Defense (1944), Meet McGonegal http://exhibits.usu.edu/items/show/18493</ref> helped to drive innovation of prosthetic devices. Williamson also argued that these veteran's benefits, despite their flaws, set the stage for later government support and legislation, like the [[Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990|Americans with Disabilities Act]].<ref name=":0" />
