Take Action: Fight for Home Care

Email Congress: Full Funding for Home and Community Based Services

Right now, there are over 820,000 disabled children, adults, and seniors who are stuck on a years-long waiting list for lifesaving home- and community- based care. This is a crisis, and we need full funding to fix it.

Congress just released their proposed budget — and what they’ve put forward is far less than what is needed to meet these urgent needs.

It’s time to fight for full funding for home- and community-based services. Email your Senators now to let them know we need full funding for home- and community-based services.

Your Letter *

I’m writing to you today in support of full funding for home- and community-based services in the reconciliation package. We desperately need this funding to address the home care crisis in America. Nearly one-million people are on the waiting list for Medicaid’s home- and community-based services program, in danger of being ripped from their homes and forced to live in unsafe nursing institutions, where 135,000 people have already died from COVID-19 since the pandemic began. This is completely unacceptable. We are the richest nation in the history of the world. We can and must guarantee home care to every person who needs it. And we must raise wages for home caregivers, who deserve to be compensated fairly for their critical work. This is our chance to make a transformational change in the lives of millions of disabled people, seniors, care workers, and their families. I urge you to support full funding now. Today will never come back again, and if we fail to seize this opportunity, I will be backing a challenger in the primary.

Sincerely,
