Folks! As many know, Medicaid is on the list of things the new administration is looking at in order to reduce government spending. While it's still early, it's important to get out ahead of it and let your senators and representatives know that any changes to Medicaid can pose serious risks to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD).
