The FOA is a pragmatic and responsible policy effort that will help ensure that fewer children are uninsured and more children with disabilities have access to a broad range of needed health care services and supports.

This is an issue that has survived several sessions of Congress. This is an election year. It is time to let your Members know that you expect them to support managed care legislation that meets the needs of children and adults with disabilities and their families. Meet with Members in their district office and attend their public events. These bills would make it easier for people with disabilities who live in the community, or their families, to pay for long-term supports and services.
