Whether it's 700 FI intermediaries or one FI middleman, the core problem is linked to MCOs and MLTCs that drive up part-time family care work to pocket billions in profits from their capitation payment system.

Douglas Usiak, CEO of Western New York Independent Living (WNYIL), explains why #disabled New Yorkers are concerned with New York State’s proposed $600 million dollar cut to the Consumer-Directed Personal Assistance Program or #CDPAP . 🧵 (1/4)

Hey Governor Kathy Hochul Sen. Stewart-Cousins Carl E. Heastie, as a paralyzed individual for 29 years, my FI has kept me independent. Your choice to limit options puts my freedom and life at risk. I refuse to go to a nursing home. #DisabilityRights Consumer Directed Action of NY

A 'Commission on the Future of Healthcare'?!?!? Maybe the 'Master Plan for Aging' will finish its work at some point; or maybe 'Reimaging Long-Term Care Task Force' will meet for the FIRST TIME, months after its statutory requirement to provide recommendations to state gov't...

CDPAP is a lifeline for our most vulnerable neighbors to get the care they need at home. I’m fighting to protect it.

Any changes to the program must not limit access to culturally + linguistically-relevant and special needs care.

The CDPAP program is absolutely essential for the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers who rely on it for home care.

We are continuing to fight to preserve CDPAP and demand that any changes in the state budget do not negatively impact CDPAP care providers or their patients.

Efforts are being made to drastically change the CDPAP program as part of the budget, however, these changes should not be decided behind closed doors, without stakeholder engagement, forcing families to fear the midnight maneuvering of budget season on their loved ones.
