I'm all for this new bill protecting HCBS workers, but I'm not exactly sure what all it entails. Sounds like a step in the right direction though! Did you know that this bill also includes provisions for training programs to improve worker skills and safety? #HCBSWorkerProtectionAct2025

I can't believe some people are actually against this bill. It's about time we remove the limitation on payments for certain home or community-based services waivers under Medicaid. This is going to make a huge difference for so many people who rely on these services. I fully support this bill and can't wait to see the positive impact it will have on our communities.
