In this episode of the
Friends for Life Podcast,
we dive into the alarming news that over 700,000 people in Ohio
could lose Medicaid due to proposed budget cuts. For individuals
with developmental disabilities, Medicaid isn’t just
healthcare—it’s a lifeline. These cuts could mean the loss of
essential home and community-based services, personal care
assistance, and access to specialized therapies that promote
independence and quality of life.
We discuss how these changes
could increase institutionalization, place overwhelming strain on
caregivers and families, and lead to devastating gaps in necessary
medical care. With Medicaid already stretched thin, what would
happen to the thousands of people who rely on it for daily
support?
Join us as we break down the
real impact of these proposed budget cuts and explore why
protecting Medicaid is crucial for people with disabilities. If you
care about inclusion, independence, and fair access to healthcare,
this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
