During last year’s fight against efforts in Washington to repeal the Affordable Care Act, poll after poll showed most Americans opposed Medicaid cuts that would turn back the clock on decades of civil rights progress for people with disabilities.
Disability rights activists vividly and compellingly pointed out that Medicaid delivers essential health care as well as long-term supports and services that make life in the community possible for millions of people with disabilities. Thanks in large part to their brave efforts, so far we have thwarted congressional proposals to dismantle Medicaid.
