Medicaid Should Cover More Personalized Care (Rep. John Shimkus)
Current Medicaid funding regulations are biased against in-home and community care. Many disabled individuals would prefer to receive care in a more personal setting but are not eligible for Medicaid funding, instead they can only receive care in an institutional setting.
The Community Choice Act will allow parents or family members to obtain support while caring for their children at home and require that services be available in the most integrated setting appropriate to the needs of the individual.
