Help Congress Protect Medicaid for Disability Services
The Foundational Role of Medicaid
Medicaid is not just a federal program; it's the bedrock of support for millions of Americans with special needs or needing disability care. It provides access to the critical, life-sustaining care and support people need to live, work, and thrive within their communities. We understand that these comprehensive disability services are the key to fostering independence and ensuring a high quality of life.
Understanding the Current Threats
Recent proposals from the House Energy & Commerce Committee aim to drastically cut federal Medicaid funding. Such reductions would create immense instability for providers like United Community Options and, most importantly, for the people who depend on the services and resources we offer. The proposed changes threaten to dismantle the progress we've made in building inclusive communities and could limit access to necessary medical and supportive care.
How Your Advocacy Can Make A Difference
Your voice can be a powerful tool for change! When lawmakers hear directly from their constituents, it can help create a significant impact and bring the real-world consequences of policy decisions to the forefront. Every letter, call, and meeting helps reinforce the message that Medicaid is a lifeline and that robust funding for disability services must be a national priority. Join the fight and help us protect important funding!
Our Continued Commitment to Action
We are relentless in our mission to champion the rights and needs of Adults with special needs and the providers who support them. Our team is actively encouraging conversations with policymakers, providing them with the data and stories needed to make informed decisions. We will continue to fight against any measures that threaten the integrity and availability of Medicaid-funded services.
