From The National Health Law Program
"Medicaid services are vitally important for children and youth with disabilities. Through benefits like the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment (EPSDT) and Home- and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers, children and youth with disabilities can access an array of services not traditionally available through private insurance. This broad access to care is associated with better health outcomes, increased community integration, higher educational attainment, and improved economic security. Congressional plans to cut Medicaid funding would impact the availability of these services."
