Hi NACDD Executive Directors and Policy Committee!
Today, NACDD submitted the attached comments to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in response to their request for public comment on the
HHS strategic plan.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
P.S. The House also just voted out the Budget Resolution for FY2018 and budget levels through FY2022. It was expected to pass, but still unfortunate as we expect the next step is a tax bill that could call for “pay fors” which have serious
consequences to the DD community. You can see how your member of Congress voted
here. It’s interesting to note it was not a pure party line vote with 19 Republicans voting “no.” Stay tuned…
Thank you,
Erin Prangley
