Keep the Momentum Going to Save Medicaid!
WHAT WE KNOW:
The Senate is moving quickly to complete their revised bill. We expect the new language on the bill to be released as early as today.
The CBO score is expected early next week and the bill could be voted on late next week.
We need to keep the momentum going to ensure that we #savemedicaid!

Continue to call Senator Isakson:
Tell him, you promised not to knowingly cut care or services to people with disabilities. The only way to do that is to reject any bill that cuts and caps Medicaid. Georgians with disabilities are counting on you.
Make no mistake; the Senate's bill, the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA) would decimate Medicaid - putting home and community based services (HCBS) on which people with disabilities rely at risk because they are optional and could be completely eliminated.
US Senator Johnny Isakson
"I'll wait and see, and I'll follow the bill closely, and I'll promise you I'll never knowingly vote to cut a developmental disability benefit, but I'll never knowingly expand that benefit without it first being thoroughly debated."
