Trying to make care better for people with psychiatric and developmental disabilities
Kids who get these services are more likely to graduate high school & go to college or get a job. Every $1 spent on special education returns $2-3 to the economy. Non-disabled kids in classrooms with disabled kids also have better outcomes. Keeping these laws is good for our kids & the economy 2/2

Medicaid also pays hospitals that serve a lot of Medicaid recipients and uninsured people. If Medicaid stops doing that, most rural hospitals will close or stop caring for these people. Medicaid cuts would destroy healthcare in rural America. 2/2

We should only use it when someone is an immediate danger to themselves or others. If you'd like to learn more about our awful history of institutional care for mental illness, and why wellness farms are a really bad idea, just read about Willowbrook or Pennhurst. 2/2

That’s great, although I’m very concerned about damage done in the next two years
