Expand Medicaid funding for community-based care, which is the preferred, less costly and more beneficial service delivery model for meeting the needs of people with disabilities and seniors.
Necessary cuts should be made to wasteful spending on institutional settings instead.
End the funding bias that forces people with disabilities into institutional settings and nursing homes, making them give up their freedom to get the assistance they need to live.
Stop waiting lists for services that threaten lives and leads to negative costly outcomes.
Support people to live, work, and participate in the community rather than in an institution.
The measure of a country's greatness should be based on how well it cares for its most vulnerable populations" ~ Mahatma Gandhi ~
