I'm told that Medicaid must be stopped in one state before one can even apply in the next. That is up to 90 days out of pocket on treatment costs for the disabled. That is unacceptable.

That 90 days is enough to limit a disabled person's ability to move within the U.S. Healthcare is expensive.
It is worse when the disabled person has developmental or intellectual disabilities.

For autism & intellectual disability, there is a huge wait for services: 3 months MA Health application +
10 months DDS eligibility application + gods know how long on waitlists for services.

When your adult child is in a Medicaid-covered residential facility in another state for severe behaviors related to their disability, you can either:
A. Not move.
B. Fight this ableist system.

Disabled individuals & their families should be able to move within the U.S. & not be denied the services they require for health, hygiene, & basic safety for over a year and more.

BOTH parents of children, esp. adult children, should be able to work full-time outside the home.
Services are so hard to fight for & often don't exist; so both parents usually can't. #misogyny

The State has historically relied on the free labor of mothers to shore up this pathetically inadequate social safety net for our disabled & elderly populations.

Now, some states are paying parents to be their adult child's caregiver. This is better than zero pay. However, it's also indicative of the impending collapse of the system. Services are closing.

They need more funding, mostly for reimbursement rates that make BHPs/CNAs a living-wage career option.
Until then, we all fight over services like it's the last slice of pie.

Until then, states gatekeep their services like dragons hoarding gold, rather than addressing the health & housing needs of their disabled citizens.

My daughter is moving to MA.
It's too bad that her transition is likely to involve the police, ERs, child protective services, etc. But that isn't on her or the rest of my family.
That's on MA.
