And Medicaid only pays $10 an hour for caregivers so the family still has to pay out of pocket for the help.

Medicare/medicaid limits how many hours per month 1 can have a caregiver. Oh, and just for fun? It takes 90+ days for the practitioners to be reimbursed.

And our caregivers are private contractors so no benefits and they have 2 to 3 jobs work 90 plus hours a week

Correct. If you wonder why there's fraud with doctors, that's why.

Rep. Haley knows the Michiganers she is fighting for. Would be a great politician to have on your side.

The plane that Qatar wants to give to Trump is a white elephant. They have been wanting to sell it for a while.

For people with developmental disabilities the cuts to Medicaid HCBS waivers would force states to pay a larger percentage if a person wants to live in the community instead of living in an expensive nursing home or institution. Large institutions and nursing homes have lobbyists with deep pockets for politicians. This is a civil rights issue
