We need to contact the people on these committees. These are the folks who can help make the decisions that affect our children and families. One of them is the Families and Children Committee, and the other is MOAB-the committee we are going to on Wednesday.
Please send them an authentic story about your child and your family. Tell them what daily life really looks like. Explain the burdensome process of trying to get services, the long waits, the dead ends, and the fact that so many of us already cannot reach the services our children need. Medicaid cannot be cut any further. Families are already stretched to the breaking point.
We also need to be honest about the reality that many of us cannot find doctors, PCPs, or specialists willing to see our kids. And the least restrictive specialty clinic is not up for debate families need real access, real options, and real support now.
Your story matters. Your voice matters. Please share what this is actually like for your family and help these decision-makers understand what is at stake.
Families and Children:
MOAB
Also, please contact your own legislator and Senator.
