Medicaid is the lifeline that keeps disabled people in their homes and communities — yet Congress is considering proposals that would slash funding, impose work requirements, and limit access to critical services like personal care and home and community-based services (HCBS). These changes would force many people with disabilities into institutions, undermining the core principles of Independent Living.

As part of the Independent Living Network, we know how vital Medicaid is for our community. We must act now to protect it! 

If the federal budget cuts Medicaid, states will be forced to cut vital programs and services our community relies on in the state budgets. It is imperative that your state officials know how devastating these cuts will be to the community and that we work with the states to preserve these critical programs:

Contact your state legislators and tell them how vital these programs are to you and the impact it will have on your community and family if they are cut.
