Theo Braddy (National Council on Independent Living) joins The Disability Squeeze Podcast to discuss the financial and policy barriers facing people with disabilities who rely on home and community-based services. Drawing on his decades of leadership in the Independent Living Movement, Braddy shares his personal experience paying out-of-pocket for attendant care, explores how Medicaid’s “benefits cliff” traps workers, and warns of a growing push toward re-institutionalization.
