Governor Scott:Let Medicaid Monies Follow The Patient
Tell Governor Scott and State Legislature to inact legislation calling for Medicaid monies to follow the patient,allowing for transition to community based home health care INSTEAD of forcing our most vounerable citizens into instituitionalized Nursing Facilities because no program exists.
Why is this important?
This is a call to Florida Governor Rick Scott and Florida's State Legislature to propose legislation calling for Medicaid monies to follow the patients and NOT the patients following the monies,often times institutionalizing American Citizens to Long term nursing facilities and Assisted living facilities which is a clear violation of the American Disabilities Act.We would ask for monies to follow the patient allowing for home care in the community in a non institutionalized setting and programs to assist with the transition(Emergency rental assistance with Security deposits for Housing,Disabled rental assitance,Utility deposits and payments).Florida Needs to take care of its most vounerable citizens.
