Republican Governor Kasich: Do not decrease Ohio's budget for persons with disabilites on Medicaid

Stop the proposed cuts in the Ohio Medicaid budget now. We will vote against those in the Ohio legislature who would cut these services to thousands of people in Ohio.

Why is this important?

I have a 28 year old who also has severe Autism and Down Syndrome. He was not eligible for any form of Medicaid until he was 18 years old due to the household income of 2 working parents. Today he is dependent on Ohio Medicaid for his multiple health issues and his private program he attends Monday through Friday. Do not hurt our people who need to keep their Medicaid entitlements and have no voice for themselves. My son is non verbal and cannot speak for himself. We, as registered voters in Ohio must uphold his and many others rights a citizens to have health care and other rights and opportunities to achieve their fullest potential.
