The National Alliance for Caregiving and Caregiver Nation Coalition released this toolkit to help advocates protect Medicaid home- and community-based services (HCBS) amid cuts and fraud-related scrutiny. It notes 8.4 million people use HCBS, 600,000-plus remain waitlisted, and HCBS costs far less than institutional care ($16,491 versus $48,143 per person). It spotlights self-directed care—letting beneficiaries hire and even pay family caregivers—and offers messaging, fact sheets, and letter templates.
