Hugh Lytle Public Figure

I have been blown away by committed parents of special needs children I have met over the years. Often heroic, as they fight for support services and coordination of care. And you see the same passion from caregivers of disabled seniors. Imagine if Medicaid didn’t exist.

Medicaid coverage is essential to creating equal access and financial support for disabled Americans.

Welcome back to The Fairness Factor with Hugh Lytle.

Did you know that 48% of children with special health care needs are covered by Medicaid? And that Medicaid also covers 45% of adults with disabilities?

Those are big numbers. Chronic health conditions associated with these populations often require long term services and support, many of which are not adequately or affordably covered by private insurance.
