On December 15, Governor Asa Hutchinson announced a proposal to eliminate the state’s Medicaid waiver waitlist by 2025. This announcement signals a profound opportunity for the disability community—as today there are more than 3,000 individuals with disabilities awaiting waiver benefits in the state of Arkansas. Given Life Styles' 45-year track record of supporting adults with developmental disabilities, we know firsthand how impactful waiver services are to individuals and their families.
Governor Hutchinson's goal is to see his proposal passed during the coming fiscal session, which starts in February. Please consider contacting your local representative and/or state senator to ensure this important legislation passes.
