Subject: ALERT: Tell Congress: Don't cut Medicaid funding for disabled
students' services
To: dandrmacich123@xxxxxxxxx
Dear Dan,
Did you know that many schools use Medicaid funding to help cover the cost
of services to students in special education? Medicaid funding is used for
speech therapy, occupational therapy, special education providers,
school-based health services and assistive devices, such as wheelchairs. In
some states, Medicaid dollars are used by schools for vision and hearing
screening for eligible students.
The American Association of School Administrators (AASA) estimates that
districts receive about $4 billion a year through Medicaid funding. Read
their informative booklet, which you can find here

to find out how our most vulnerable students could be hurt by cuts.
Right now the House of Representatives led by Paul Ryan is debating whether
to slash Medicaid or to shift it to a block grant as part of their "repeal
and replace" the Affordable Care Act. Neither choice is good for children.
If a per-capita cap or block grant is enacted, schools would lose a
dedicated funding source for services, and would have to compete with
health care providers and hospitals for limited funds.
And all of this would be part of a budget package with large tax cuts for
the rich.
