Hello Rural Friends (and anyone NOT on the Front Range)

We really need your help.  We had sent this out a couple times--it is a
survey where we are asking for Medicaid stories, mostly wanting to know how
Medicaid helps you or those you love.   While the main bill to repeal and
replace Obamacare failed, they are still working on another bill.  Even
though the Medicaid programs that help people with disabilities have
nothing to do with Obamacare, all of the proposals to "fix" it will
substantially change Medicaid.  We need to have lots of data to show our
Congresspeople and Senators that Medicaid is SUPER important to people with
disabilities the way it is.   Attached are some documents explaining our
concerns.

We need you to send out the survey and ask all of your friends, clients,
employees, families, and others on Medicaid to fill it out. We have most of
our responses from urban areas and we want to show a statewide picture.

If anyone needs help with this Charlene Willey (pc.willey at gmail.com) is in
charge of this important project and she can talk to someone on the phone
if they cannot use the survey for whatever reason.

Thanks so much.
