[KansasDemDisabilityCaucus @KsDemDisCaucus]

This is a good time to talk to legislators about how you feel in regards to the I/DD wait list crisis.

[KDP CD1 Democrats @Cd1Kdp]

Mark your calendars because we will rally for Medicaid expansion.

This is rich Hawkins. If you're so concerned about Kansans with disabilities why didn't you do more to help those with I/DD when you were on the KanCare HCBS committee? You were too busy being wined and dined by the insurance companies you were charged with oversight of.

[Dan Hawkins @DanHawkinsKS]

“research demonstrates that expansion has resulted in states shifting resources from traditional Medicaid enrollees, such as children and people with disabilities, and toward able-bodied, working-aged adults while creating a disincentive to work.”

MedEx is wrong for KS. #ksleg

[KansasDemDisabilityCaucus @KsDemDisCaucus]

@skohayes @RepMann Thank you for figuring out the tag for him.

[KansasDemDisabilityCaucus @KsDemDisCaucus]

Shame on @RonEstesKS @JakeLaTurner and Mann.

[KansasDemDisabilityCaucus @KsDemDisCaucus]

We are proud to advocate for people with disabilities not only in Kansas but all over the world on this day of #InternationalDayOfPersonswithDisabilities

[KansasDemDisabilityCaucus @KsDemDisCaucus]

You didn't address the I/DD wait list.

[Laura Kelly @LauraKellyKS]

My 2023 wrapped.

What do you think? #TeachTuesdays #DisabilityEducation

[United Cerebral Palsy National @UCPnational]

Today is Teach Tuesday! So, today's question is: Cerebral Palsy is always accompanied by intellectual disabilities?
This is False. You can learn more on the CDC website https://t.co/CQuy1VFKC6.

Disability rights are not a plea for sympathy; they are a demand for justice and equality.

[KansasDemDisabilityCaucus @KsDemDisCaucus]

Will Medicaid expansion dollars go towards reducing the I/DD waiver wait list? Kansans with I/DD and their caregivers would like to know this.

[Governor Laura Kelly @GovLauraKelly]

Expanding Medicaid would lower costs for everyone. In the years after Kansas chose not to expand Medicaid, more Kansas tax dollars were sent to support our local hospitals. Those are local taxpayer dollars that could be going back into Kansans' pockets.

[KansasDemDisabilityCaucus @KsDemDisCaucus]

Get to work for Kansans with I/DD and their caregivers. Work on the wait list reduction.

[Governor Laura Kelly @GovLauraKelly]

This week, we got to work for Kansans:
🛣 Announcing nearly $1.5M to improve road safety in 7 communities
🩺 Meeting with faith leaders to discuss the benefits of Medicaid expansion
⭐️ Releasing a new license plate that will address safety concerns with old plates

[KansasDemDisabilityCaucus @KsDemDisCaucus]

To the @aldemocrats your move to remove your state party's disability caucus representation in your caucuses is abhorrent. You are essentially telling people in your state that have disabilities that they don't matter.

[KansasDemDisabilityCaucus @KsDemDisCaucus]

We've been advocating for this. @POTUS it is time to end the sub-minimum wage pay for disabled workers!!

[NACDD @NACDD]

Dozens of disability advocacy groups are urging the Biden administration to end a decades-old program allowing employers to pay workers with disabilities less than minimum wage.

This is huge. WTG @UCLA !!!

[KansasDemDisabilityCaucus @KsDemDisCaucus]

Parents to children with disabilities this lunch and learn from Child Advocacy and The Mama Bear Project looks like a must to attend.

[NACDD @NACDD]

November is Native American Heritage Month. We honor the impacts of the Native American members in our I/DD community. Join us Nov 27 @ 12 PM EST for a webinar from Kimberly Yellow Robe on Indigenous Determinants of Health from a Disability Perspective
