Pennsylvania Disability Advocates Fight to Save Medicaid
(The Center Square) – Pennsylvanians with intellectual and developmental disabilities gathered with advocates in the Capitol on Monday to urge lawmakers to preserve Medicaid from proposed spending cuts at the federal level. In particular, the group spoke out about the importance of home and community-based supports that allow many disabled people to remain independent rather than receiving care in an institutional setting. “Without strong funding commitments, people with disabilities and the caregivers, providers, and communities that support them stand to lose the most,” said Francine Hogan, director of the nonprofit Vision for Equality.
