"The sweeping cuts to Medicaid, which amount to nearly $1 trillion, will not only force millions of Americans off their health care coverage, but will also jeopardize access to the services that make community inclusion possible. ".#Medicaid.

“Make no mistake: this bill will cause direct harm to anyone who depends on Medicaid to continue living in their community.”. -Barbara Merrill, CEO, ANCOR.

“Despite Congress’ stated intent of protecting people with IDD, this bill cuts the very funding on which people with disabilities depend for critical supports and life-saving health care,” said Barbara Merrill, CEO at ANCOR. '.#Medicaid #Disability.

'In rural areas and regions with limited healthcare options, Medicaid is often the only access point for critical services. When it becomes harder to access, the consequences ripple across entire communities.'. -Wendy Sullivan, CEO, @EasterSealsMW

While there weren't enough votes last week to #ProtectMedicaid and stop passage of HR 1, we want to thank @RepBrianFitz for his leadership in voting against these harmful cuts that will hurt disability services.

🚨TAKE ACTION TODAY🚨. The House must hear from you now! Use the link below to tell your Representatives to reject Medicaid cuts and protect services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). #SaveMedicaid #ProtectMedicaid.

— To keep the promise of community living for people with I/DD a reality, we must support and invest in the Medicaid program. Our communities are at their best when all people, including people with disabilities, have the opportunity to develop skills, achieve greater.

Here's how:. — Community-based services are not federally mandated, so are especially vulnerable to Medicaid funding reductions.— When community-based services are cut or reduced, people with disabilities lose access to the support they need to live in their homes & communities.

The budget reconciliation bill contains language that will have an impact on people with disabilities, and disability services. Rather than cutting Medicaid, Congress should focus on opportunities that sustain and strengthen Medicaid-funded services for people with disabilities.

We now call on the House now to reject these harmful cuts, and moving forward, we look forward to working with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to ensure everyone in Washington fully understands how cuts to #Medicaid will be devastating, especially for people with #IDD.

We were also grateful for the leadership of @SenThomTillis, who voted against the bill and used his floor time to speak out against the devastating nature of cuts to #Medicaid. Thank you, Senator Tillis, for your advocacy!.

Although this was not the outcome we wanted or that people with I/DD deserve, we were grateful for the leadership of @SenatorCollins, who recognized the harm Medicaid cuts would have on #HCBS providers and actively worked to try to mitigate that harm. Thank you, Senator Collins!.

To say the least, the human and financial costs are staggering. Read our full statement →

For weeks, we hoped the Senate’s reconciliation bill would retreat from the devastating Medicaid cuts passed by the House in H.R. 1. What we got instead was a bill that increased harmful reductions that will devastate services for people with intellectual and developmental.
