Thank you to those who were able to join our NACDD Quarterly Policy Call today! I hope you all found the presentation helpful to your work.
Here are a few links to resources mentioned during the call:

The President’s budget “cuts Medicaid and subsidies for private coverage in the marketplace by $763 billion over the next decade. The President’s budget would do that in large part by adopting the proposal from
Senators Bill Cassidy and Lindsey Graham to cap per-beneficiary spending in Medicaid, which would severely hurt people with disabilities enrolled in the program by making the home-
and community-based services that keep them out of institutions especially vulnerable to deep cuts.” From Center on Budget Policies and Priorities. “President’s Budget Would Hurt People with Disabilities.” February 21, 2018.
