On July 30, 1965, Medicaid was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson to ensure health care access for low-income individuals and families. This week recognized 60 years of Medicaid, a program that has grown to serve over 90 million people, including children, seniors, and people with disabilities.

For Californians with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), Medicaid isn’t just about doctor visits, it’s a lifeline to independence. Medicaid funds:

· In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS)
· Regional Center services
· Behavioral and mental health support
· Early intervention for children
· School-based services
· Community-based housing and employment supports

Without Medicaid, many of these vital services would not exist. These supports make it possible for individuals to live safely at home, participate in their communities, and lead fulfilling lives on their terms.

Today marks 35 years since President George H.W. Bush signed the ADA. The legislation, which passed with broad bipartisan support, was the first comprehensive civil rights law in the world for people with disabilities, barring discrimination in education, transportation, employment, voting and other areas of public life.

“The ADA has helped make our country more inclusive and accessible in all aspects of life,” said Alison Barkoff, a health law and policy professor at George Washington University who previously led the federal Administration for Community Living. “It has helped move our society from one where segregating people with disabilities was the default to one where most disabled people and their families have an expectation of inclusion in schools, workplaces and the broader community.”

Happy 35th Anniversary to the ADA! 👏🏻
