👀 keep up the pressure to #SaveCDPA - lawmakers aren’t going along with @GovKathyHochul’s irresponsible plan to hand the consumer-directed program to one out-of-state corporation politico.com/newsletters/ne…
“The issues in this program now are a result of the system that the state created, and they currently today have the administrative authority to make changes that would take out some of the bad actors,” said NYAIL's Lindsay Miller. Thanks @ragajus bit.ly/3xNHe8v
NYAIL Exec. Director Lindsay Miller giving an update that @CarlHeastie said Independent Living Centers will be part of the CDPAP. Beyond that we don't know anything at this point. #SaveCDPA Nothing about us without us @GovKathyHochul
🚨URGENT CALL TO ACTION FOR NEW YORK STATE🚨 Instead of taking on private insurance profiteers, @GovKathyHochul has announced a disastrous plan without ANY input from directly impacted people. Call her now to let her know how you feel about it☎️
@NYAIL @GovKathyHochul It’s called commodities trading and we are the commodity being sold.
Your advocacy is helping! @CarlHeastie just said in a press conference Independent Living Centers will be part of the CDPAP. How that looks is still a mystery! Keep fighting! Nothing about us without us! #SaveCDPA
Advocates are back in the War Room at the Capitol to tell @GovKathyHochul Independent Living Centers know the CDPAP program because we helped create it by and for pwd. #SaveCDPA #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs @CaringMajority @CapitalTonight @timesunion @politicony
NYAIL Exec. Director Lindsay Miller told @ragajus with @timesunion Independent Living Centers must be included in whatever the new Fiscal Intermediary structure. Advocates are in Albany advocating to #SaveCDPA
Call @GovKathyHochul at 518.474.8390 and tell her you want to work with the FI who knows you! We know from Ca, Ma, and other states 1 FI for the whole state won't work. Ct. kicked managed care out. #SaveCDPA #CareNotProfits #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs
This explanation does not add up. Independent Living Centers and other nonprofit agencies are the places pwd want to use as their Fiscal Intermediary. @GovKathyHochul #Disabled ppl have the same rights to choice as anyone else. #SaveCDPA #CareNotProfits #SupportILCS
