Gayle reports that she and other families will rally at the State Capitol on January 31 with People for People and the Kentucky Disabilities Coalition to Highlight Children and Family Issues. In late October, the Coalition with the ARC of Tennessee organized a big Medicaid rally at the Capitol. Participants included people with disabilities who use Medicaid, families, providers, and advocates, who later delivered piles of testimonials and letters to the Governor. Needless to say, there was great media coverage. New Jersey's Lauren Agoratus included Family Voices as an important resource in a list she distributed to local early intervention and rehab centers.
Family Voices Can Help.
We can send banner. We can also send you copies of Family Voices papers on managed care, Medicaid, or other topics. If a patient's costs exceed the cap, Medicaid will find them a nursing home. Julie notes that all our kids will someday be over 22, and that institutions and nursing homes are not where we want them to live. Access to Medical Records.
