Dear Friends and Family of Aveyron Homes,
Congressional leaders have released a budget draft that calls for at least $1.5 trillion in spending cuts, with Medicaid likely facing some of the deepest cuts, according to Politico. If Congress is successful in passing its budget resolution, it would direct further legislation to make these drastic cuts, which could:
Shift Medicaid costs to states, forcing them to cut provider rates or reduce essential services.
Put individuals with I/DD at risk of losing critical supports that allow them to live independently.
Members of Congress rely on feedback from their constituents when making decisions on public policy. Studies show that direct outreach from constituents is the most effective way to influence legislators—your voice truly makes a difference. That’s why it’s critical to act now and tell Congress to protect Medicaid and the services individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) rely on. Congress must hear from you now. Tell your Congressional members: Reject Medicaid cuts and protect services for people with disabilities.
Preserve I/DD Services—Tell Congress Protect Medicaid!
