Medicaid Town Hall Meetings
- August 2006
Come and learn what you can
do to ensure Minnesota-elected officials know about the importance
of the Medicaid program for persons with disabilities. Key experts
will describe how the Federal Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 could
negatively affect the services provided to persons with disabilities
and their families. There are still many actions that people who
support services for persons with disabilities can take to diminish
these funding-reduction threats. Meeting schedule and registration
