Faces of Medicaid

Medicaid provides 94 hours a week of personal attendant care. Before I give you my reasons for opposing this law, let me tell you about myself. I have severe cerebral palsy with a speech impairment. I am a licensed attorney in Texas. My best friend, Mark Whitburn, and I established our own law firm, Whitburn & Pevsner, PLLC. We practice probate, guardianship, ADA and FHA law. We represent students with disabilities and their parents against school districts that are not providing them the appropriate services. Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, we have assisted students with Autism and other disabilities to receive a free appropriate public education.

Mr. Bishop: I am Public Policy Specialist for United Cerebral Palsy of Michigan, I beg you not to support the tax cuts. People with disabilities depend on medicaid to stay independent and living in their own homes.

Our family is asking @SenatorIsakson & @sendavidperdue to please #VoteNoGrahamCassidy healthcare bill. #SaveMedicaid #NoCapsNoCuts ❌????

My students will have no teacher. My bipolar, pregnant daughter will hurt herself my grandchild. Please, do not touch Medicaid.

My name is Shawn Phillips and I am 36 years old. I have a fulfilling and happy life. This life is brought to me by Medicaid Waiver. If I did not have this program, my Mom would not be able to work and my life would be unfulfilled. I am lucky to have waiver, there are many on the wait list who do not. It took two medical crisis to get it after being on the wait list 6-8 years. Please don't take this away from me. Please help others get the same quality of life that I have.

@senrobportman #savemedicaid One already must wait on a years-long waitlist to get a waiver in OH. Mdcd needs more resources, not less.
