NAD Opposes Possible Cuts to Medicaid Benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n

September 15, 2011<\/p>\n

The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) strongly opposes any cuts to
\nMedicaid and encourages members of the deaf and hard of hearnig community to
\nparticipate in the September 21, 2011 Medicaid Matters rally at the U.S.
\nCapitol. After the passage of the Debt Ceiling Bill, a Super Committee of
\nTwelve was created and charged with reducing the deficit by at least $1.5
\ntrillion by 2021. While it is not certain which programs will be cut, it is
\nclear that Medicaid will be on the table for possible major cuts.<\/p>\n

“Millions of Americans with disabilities rely on Medicaid and cannot afford
\nto lose their coverage. Medicaid allows millions of people with disabilities
\nto receive a wide variety of important services, which allows them to remain
\nindependent and employable. These services are especially critical during
\nthese uncertain economic times,” said NAD CEO Howard Rosenblum.<\/p>\n

Join NAD CEO Howard Rosenblum at the September 21st rally and let Congress
\nknow that Medicaid Matters! The rally, sponsored by over 50 disability,
\naging, and civil rights groups, will start at noon on the west side of the
\nU.S. Capitol.<\/p>\n
