hereVOR has sent a position paper to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, in an appeal to reason and in hopes of empathy for people with I/DD and autism and their families.
VOR has submitted a letter to the Governor of every state, and also sent emails to the National Governors Association, the Republican Governors Association, and the Democratic Governors Association, in hopes that they will unite against making any cuts to Medicaid.
We want the Governors to understand how severely these cuts will harm their constituents in the I/DD, autism, mental health, and aging communities. We want them to realize that these cuts will futher impact their state hospital systems, as people who lose Medicaid will turn to emergency rooms far more frequently. Furthermore, Medicaid cust will further strain their own state budgets, while lowering their credit ratings and making it more diffilcult to borrow funds to build roads, schools, and infrastructure.
We ask our members to please share these resources with your own State Governors.
