[Headline] FREE OUR PEOPLE MARCH & RALLY

Did you know that if you become disabled and need help, most of the time your only choice is to go to a nursing home?

Didja know people with all kinds of disabilities (even people who use ventilators) live in their own homes and get services there?

Didja know the main problem is federal Medicaid rules that keep services focused on institutions? And the nursing home lobbyists work hard to keep it that way too!

MiCASSA— the Medicaid Community Attendant Services and Supports Act will solve the problem!

Many of us marching were once stuck in a nursing home or other institution, or have been threatened with it.

13 years ago when we started this campaign we knew this could work and people are unnecessarily institutionalized in nursing homes and similar places. Since then, thousands of people have moved from institutions like nursing homes, and proven time and again it can be done!

BUT, over 2 million people are still stuck, many want out but don't have that choice.

Help us make MiCASSA a reality!
