Hello,
The potential cuts to Michigan's Medicaid system will be devastating to all individuals with disabilities and their families. Consider taking a stand against these proposed cuts by voicing your opposition and sharing your story with your state legislators. Please participate in a statewide effort to stop these cuts using the links below. This "electronic" campaign is being coordinated between the times of 6am E.T. on May 17th to 6am E.T. on May 18th.
Thanks,
Angela Martin
In connection with the proposed Medicaid cuts, three videos have been uploaded to YouTube that describe the impacts the proposed Michigan Medicaid cuts would have on Special Needs kids.
