$145.9 billion spent on HCBS in 2023. 710,000 people still on waiting lists. And rampant fraud draining the program. Americans with disabilities deserve better. Our new report combats this:  ableamericans.us/policy-solu…

The problem is not people with disabilities. The problem is a system that has failed to provide the supports, opportunities, and pathways to independence that people deserve. 👇🏼👇🏼 ableamericans.us/collette-di…

Legalized assisted suicide and euthanasia are now the fifth leading cause of death in Canada.❗❗ ableamericans.us/canada-a-so…

Read Collette’s story highlighted in @TheHill today. We must do better for people with disabilities. Proud of the work we’re doing with @AbleAmericans Campaign to Fix the Disability System, led by disability advocates like @colletteycookie working to expand opportunity and fix outdated benefits. thehill.com/opinion/civil-ri…

I am not a parent of a child with Down syndrome, nor am I a doctor who treats them or a politician who represents them. I am a person with Down syndrome. And I am tired of being talked about instead of being listened to. For decades, society has sent people like me a dangerous message: that our lives are somehow less valuable, less meaningful, or less worthy than the lives of everyone else. The reality is very different, writes Collette Divitto in @thehill. thehill.com/opinion/civil-ri…

.@jesistracham made the courageous decision to leave SSDI, but still relied on Medicaid to cover her high medical costs—only to find that marriage and modest savings could put her care at risk. 👇👇 ableamericans.us/jesis-story…

Fighting fraud in Medicaid's HCBS shouldn't mean punishing disabled Americans and their families. Root out the bad actors. Leave the families alone. 6 reforms to do exactly that👇 ableamericans.us/policy-solu…

🚨🚨 According to the Freedom Foundation, states diverted an estimated $1.4 billion in caregivers’ Medicaid funds to unions between 2000-2017. Read the report: ableamericans.us/policy-solu…

People with disabilities deserve more than survival—they deserve opportunity, dignity, and freedom. 👏🏼👏🏼 ➡️➡️ Learn more: AbleAmericans.us

HCBS costs 1/3 of institutional care and lets people with disabilities live at home, not in a facility. That's a win. Fraud and waste are draining it dry. The answer isn't more red tape — it's smarter accountability. Our latest report on this:  ableamericans.us/policy-solu…

Fraud, waste, and abuse are usually not caused by individuals with disabilities or their families. It is enabled by weak oversight of providers, poor financing incentives in Medicaid policy, complex government contracting arrangements, and providers or intermediaries who exploit vulnerable systems. 👇🏼👇🏼 ableamericans.us/fixing-frau…

🚨Despite being the largest minority group, people with disabilities face systemic barriers like income gaps and limited access to resources. ableamericans.us/policy-solu…

A wheelchair isn’t a limitation.‼️ For millions of Americans, it’s freedom. Freedom to work. To travel. To learn. To participate. To live independently. The problem isn’t the wheelchair—it’s the barriers that stand in the way. When we create accessible communities, we create more opportunity for everyone. A wheelchair doesn’t limit potential. It unlocks it. 👏🏻👏🏻 ➡️➡️ Learn more: ableamericans.us!

Since 2016, when the Canadian government legalized MAID, the country has administered the procedure to tens of thousands of its own citizens. For perspective, know that more than 5% of all deaths in Canada in 2024 were from MAID—more than 16,000 Canadians died this way, writes @ErickaAndersen for @WNGdotorg. wng.org/opinions/canada-is-o… Able Americans' recent series addresses assisted suicide and euthanasia & what it means for the future of those with disabilities: ableamericans.us/is-any-life…

Dear @McJuggerNuggets, You just asked the world for empathy and sympathy because you aborted your unborn baby because you found out he had Downs Syndrome. I'm not sure if this is some sick humiliation ritual, or you and your wife are simply dead inside, but I'd like to show you what you just ended for the sake of convenience:

This clip will never get old. So incredibly good!
