Senate To Hold Hearings On Institutional Bias
WASHINGTON, DC, April 1, 2004 -- Advocates for community-based supports have scored a victory this week in the battle against the institutional bias in Medicaid funding.
After months of work by disability rights groups, staff from Senator Charles Grassley's office announced that the Senate Finance Committee will hold hearings next Wednesday, April 7, on S. 1394, the Money Follows the Person Act, and S. 971, otherwise known as MiCASSA, the Medicaid Community-Based Attendant Services and Supports Act.
