Congressional leaders are discussing proposals that could significantly reduce Medicaid funding. These cuts would have devastating consequences for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), potentially stripping away access to vital services that Advancing Abilities - Scioto Trails provides that support people with disabilities to remain in their communities. Real people’s dignity, independence and well-being are at stake. Tell your Senators and Representatives to reject Medicaid cuts and protect services for people with I/DD. Take action to now: ancor.org/amplifier

Medicaid operates as a partnership between states and the federal government to fund crucial health care services. When federal Medicaid funding is reduced, states must find new funding to balance the shortfall in state budgets. If new funding cannot be found, community-based services for people with I/DD that Advancing Abilities - Scioto Trails provides are often reduced, leading to longer waitlists for HCBS and higher rates of unnecessary institutionalization. To keep the promise of community living for people with I/DD a reality, we must invest in—not divest from—the Medicaid program. Take action to at ancor.org/amplifier.

02/26/2025

Advancing Abilities - Scioto Trails and other Community providers support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) with a broad array of services from building skills in the home, such as eating, dressing, and personal hygiene, to career planning and employment supports to find and maintain jobs. These community-based services are funded almost exclusively through Medicaid. Congressional leaders are discussing proposals that could significantly reduce Medicaid funding. These cuts would have devastating consequences for people with I/DD. Take action today against proposed Medicaid cuts: ancor.org/amplifier.
