I am your constituent and I want you to know there are many older Americans and disabled persons who need help at home. Medicaid will pay to institutionalize them but if they would prefer help at home Medicaid needs a waiver and does not have the resources. Waitlists are averaging 44 months to get help. But you can help them now.
The best help you could give them would be to pass HR 3421 the Improved Medicare for All Act instead of putting band aid fixes on top of band aid fixes in our broken healthcare system.
However, since I have your attention I want you to support and pass two bills, the HCBS Access Act (S. 762/H.R. 1493) and HCBS Relief Act (S. 3118/H.R. 6296) to make sure they can get the services they need, when they need it and live with dignity. Thank you.
