Advocates Unite Around Expanding Medicaid HCBS As part of the American Jobs Plan, President Biden committed to investing $400 billion in Medicaid home- and community-based services (HCBS). Aging, disability, and labor organizations are united around ensuring this commitment becomes law. We are inviting advocates and other stakeholder organizations to join us by signing onto a letter to Congress and the White House about how critical this $400 billion investment is to meeting the demands on our care infrastructure. The letter outlines our shared recommendations to advance a more equitable, high quality HCBS system by ensuring that the funding both expands access to services nationwide and supports the workforce. Read the letter and sign your organization on using this form by May 17, 2021. Learn more about the need to improve HCBS for older adults in our Primer. |
