People with disabilities need to have the right to marry and have security for their families. Right now, many people with disabilities are penalized because they require services to survive. These services are through both federal and state programs.
These programs include (but are not limited to) Medicaid, SSDI/SSI, and even section 8 or food stamps. They are often the only programs to offer what can be life-saving services. For example, only state Medicaid will pay for PCA based home healthcare. No private insurances will cover this.
We would like the president to work with Congress and states to raise the income threshold for these programs, so people with disabilities can get the services they need and still have access to what the Supreme Court recently called a civil right.
