I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the proposed cuts to Medicaid and other essential programs that support individuals with disabilities. These programs are lifelines for millions, providing critical healthcare services and support that enable people with disabilities to lead independent and fulfilling lives.
The suggested reductions, including the implementation of work requirements and spending caps, would disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, stripping away necessary resources and exacerbating existing health disparities. As highlighted by Disability Rights Pennsylvania, such measures could result in the loss of care and support that are fundamental to the well-being of people with disabilities.
I urge you to oppose any legislation that seeks to diminish the funding or effectiveness of these vital programs. It is imperative that we uphold our commitment to protecting the rights and health of all citizens, especially those who rely on these services for their daily needs.
Thank you for your attention to this critical issue. I look forward to your support in safeguarding the essential services that individuals with disabilities depend upon.
