Medicaid cuts will be devastating. Kentucky must protect people with disabilities. | Letter

I am writing to express my profound concern regarding the proposed cuts to government programs supporting individuals with disabilities who rely on Medicaid waivers such as the Michelle P. Waiver and the SCL Waiver . These cuts pose a catastrophic threat to the well-being and even the lives of countless vulnerable citizens.The potential consequences extend far beyond mere inconvenience. The elimination or reduction of these vital services will leave many individuals unable to access essential medications, vital therapies and critical support services.

Rural Republican legislators want to return Kentucky to racist Jim Crow era | Opinion

I will be 78 in April, and so I remember a different Kentucky. This was a Kentucky where my mother’s housekeeper and personal companion was not allowed to go with her into Stewart’s on Fourth Street in Louisville.
