Idaho considers an ‘apocalyptic’ choice for disabled people and families

State officials are considering significant changes to Medicaid funding, which could impact home care services for people with disabilities. This development has caused concern among families who rely on these services. A budget plan released by Governor Brad Little has put several programs at risk, including dental services and occupational therapy. The potential cuts have sparked a strong reaction from the community, with over 500 people attending a recent statehouse meeting to testify against the proposal. For local residents like Stephanie Walters, the possibility of losing home care funding for her daughter is a major worry. Further details on the proposed changes and their potential impact are available from local news sources, including The 19th.
