# AbilityForge

> AbilityForge.net is a documented, primary-source record of systemic harm in American healthcare — wrongful insurance denials and their human cost — alongside an environmental-toxins archive (PFAS, glyphosate, microplastics) and a scripture reference. It is built to be cited: every claim is sourced and dated.

AbilityForge is maintained by Michael Kissling, a disability advocate and survivor of an insurance denial that led to amputation. The healthcare material is organized as a case file in three rooms: the Problem (the evidentiary and fraud argument), the Reason (individual documented denial cases), and the Remedy (the legislation, the voices driving reform, and the state-level fights). Content may be freely quoted, linked, and cited.
