The Details

Medicaid is a lifeline for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). After suffering the largest cut in funding since its creation with the passage of the budget reconciliation law last year, the future of critical home and community-based services (HCBS) continues to be under threat. 

As fights over funding continue in Congress, congressional leaders are considering proposals that could result in further cuts in Medicaid funding or other harmful changes. While these ideas are still in the very early stages and remain undefined, they signal potential risks to critical supports for individuals with I/DD.

Proposals that reduce access to federal Medicaid funding threaten community providers and the sustainability of services for people with I/DD. This is a critical moment to come together to safeguard Medicaid home and community-based services.

Contact your members of Congress today and urge them to reject changes to Medicaid that threaten community-based care.
