The disability community desperately needs #MOLeg’s support to renew the FRA.
Without rates for providers, services are unable to continue.
We must help Missouri’s most vulnerable citizens!

While there is a push to expand #Medicaid eligibility in Missouri, there are hundreds of people with developmental disabilities who have already been approved by the state for help. But state lawmakers cut funding to pay for those services. https://t.co/nKGedR9LXL @stltoday

Today, a STL area provider gave notice they can no longer serve 17 people with #DD due to rates that are drastically low. This is the exact problem @GovParsonMO @MentalHealthMO@RepDistrict58 have provided funding to stop from happening. Cont..... #MOleg#NoMODSPcrisis

Missourians with disabilities possess the skill set and passion to earn a Living Wage through competitive employment; they can hold down a job and are worthy of the same benefits as other employees. #moleg#WordofTheDay
