We discuss the importance and value of HCBS, the power of caregiver voices, why HCBS is too important to cut and actually saves a lot of money in addition to it's very real impact on quality of life for care recipients. We emphasize the mportance of all of us coming together to protect and in fact, expand, improve and enhance HCBS. We all agree that it's important to stop fraud, however it is also extremely important to provide necessary services for disabled people.

Quoted in the episode is an article published by KFF, written by Elizabeth Hinton, Jessica Mathers, and Robin Rudowitz. They say “There are no reliable measures of fraud against Medicaid…Recent analysis of the FY 2023 HCFAC report found no beneficiary fraud in the listing. Providers convicted (of different kinds of fraud against Medicaid and Medicare) included ambulance service providers, durable medical equipment suppliers, diagnostic labs, nursing homes, pain clinics, pharmacies, physical therapists, physicians, and substance use treatment providers… Medicaid Paid an Estimated 94.9% of Total Outlays Properly, and Improper Payments are Mostly Due to Insufficient Information...What is known about fraud in Medicaid is that it’s not unique to Medicaid (fraud also occurs in Medicare and private health insurance) and is mostly committed by providers. There are checks on fraud, waste, and abuse at both the federal and the state levels“

Also mentioned are examples of family member advocacy that are really impactful. One is the families which advocated for Tensy's Law in Oregon, starting at about 13 minutes in this video. And another example was at some recent Medicaid legislative hearings in Ohio. Have some tissues handy before you watch these!

• “More than 72 million people have health insurance through Medicaid – that’s more than one in five Americans. It covers children, senior citizens, people with disabilities, parents and adults without dependents.  In addition, more than 7.2 million children are enrolled in the Children’s Health Insurance Program, because their families’ incomes are too high to qualify for Medicaid.

• Medicaid provides health insurance for about two in five children and also covers about 40% of all births, according to KFF, a nonpartisan health policy research group. It also covers more than 60% of nursing home residents and nearly 30% of non-elderly adults with mental illness, as well as about one in three people with disabilities. Plus, it pays for substance abuse treatment.”-CNN

Nicole Jorwic is the Chief of Campaigns and Advocacy at Caring Across Generations.  She is a family caregiver, having a brother with significant disabilities, and watched her parents navigate care for her grandparents.  These experiences led Nicole to passionately advocate for a better experience for everyone.  She is not afraid to share her viewpoints and positions.  More information about Nicole and Caring Across Generations is here: https://caringacross.org/about/team/
