I want my ca us to be rep-resend is to Close all Institution Nationwide would wide people with disabilities should be living in the community in the leas restriction endowment, rather living institution in a more restrictive endowment. I oppose HR 1664 that represent re-institutionalixzed people with disabilities in New Hampshire. We fought for over 30 for Community placements. We do not need to go backwards.
People with disabilities like me self needs to have their voice heard in Concord, Washington, DC.
We need to stop spending Medicaid Dollars to where housed people with disabilities forget about them.
The Current Systems needs to be changed to give persons with disabilities in New Hampshire more choices rather then the State Decided what care he or she should receive. Community-Base Services has always been underfunded for years. The Medicaid Dollars transfer ed to the Community-Base Services rather then taken Services away from People with disabilities.
Thank you
