Last December, when the state’s Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) implemented a staggering $350 million cut to Medicaid reimbursements for much needed physical, occupational and speech therapy, it had a devastating impact on our state’s most vulnerable populations.
It dramatically rolled back vital medical access for low-income families and those with special needs children. The cuts closed the door to families in rural areas where access to care is already limited. I warned our state leaders of these outcomes when they pushed to enact the measure, and so did the families who were directly affected.
