ANCOR SAYS:
 
Your engagement during this budget negotiation is crucial to ensure that people with disabilities continue to have access to the Medicaid-funded services they require. It is essential that your representatives in Washington hear directly from you, regardless of their prior involvement with disability issues. Your elected officials need to understand the significance of Medicaid-reliant supports and the importance of increased funding for their sustainability.
 
Please act today to let Congress know:

• The DSP workforce and Medicaid-funded long-term support services (LTSS) provider infrastructure are in deep crisis due to decades of underinvestment.  
• Investments in Medicaid community-based programs are desperately needed to ensure individuals with I/DD have the necessary services to succeed.

 
Together, we can strengthen the Medicaid program and ensure that millions of Americans continue to have access to the care they need. Your advocacy can make a tangible difference, and we deeply appreciate your commitment to supporting people with I/DD.
