Please help ensure Medicaid continues to support Individuals in Texas with IDD. More than ever, we need everyone to focus their efforts on contacting our U.S. Senate representatives.
Call Senator John Cornyn (1-202-224-2934) and Senator Ted Cruz (1-202-224-5922) to continue to ensure we have Medicaid to support programs serving individuals with IDD, as well as directly support individuals with IDD in Texas.
The ARC of TEXAS has supplied a nice script for you, or your person with a disability to contact these senate representatives and share your concerns, issues, and need for Medicaid for services:
“Hi, my name is [NAME] and I live in [CITY]. I am a [Texan with a disability / family member of someone with an intellectual or developmental disability]. Medicaid is essential for [me/my family member] to live independently and access the services we need. Without Medicaid, [I/my family member] would not be able to receive critical support such as help with daily activities, therapies, job support, and community integration. Please do not cut funding for Medicaid. It allows [me/my family member] to live in the community, access education and employment opportunities, and fully participate in society. Thank you for your time, and please support Texans with disabilities like [me/my loved one].”
