Preserve Medicaid Funding!
We are fighting back against Federal cuts to Medicaid!
The Federal Government is in ongoing discussions about a spending plan that puts Medicaid funding at risk.
We need our elected representative to understand how critical Medicaid is to people with disabilities, and how devastating the proposed cuts would be to people they represent.
Any effort to change or otherwise reform the Medicaid program must consider the impact on people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities, in order to prevent unintended harmful consequences.
It is more important than ever that we mobilize our grassroots, engage our congressional delegation, and protect the critical supports and services people with intellectual and developmental disabilities rely on.
