[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone with a disabled child on Medicaid, I’ll be honest, I’m torn. While I’m glad so many people will have health insurance now, it may mean those of us who qualified under the original program which the federal government reimburses less for will be squeezed. Childless adults will be prioritized to some degree since the feds pay so much for them. We are so lucky to be covered but recent years have felt the threat of budget cuts and the potential for lost services. VA will be on the hook for more money no and I’m concerned about my DS who is 12. I may be flamed for this, but I’m just a mom who wants the best for my kid... while other people have access to care too. [/quote]

Interesting. Are you involved with any advocacy groups for children with disabilities? Were any of them expressing these concerns in opposition to the expansion for these reasons?
I would think that over the entire lifetime of your child, as they become older, this expansion will be better than if it had not happened.[/quote]
