Petition to force DHHS to track state spending of stimulus funds for Medicaid

2009-09-12T09:08:00.003-10:00

So far, the states have received over $28 billion in stimulus funds that can only be spent on Medicaid.

Meanwhile ten states are either under investigation by the feds or have class action and civil suits pending, all based on allegations that state cuts made in Medicaid home and community support services are violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act, as well as, possibly, federal Medicaid law.

It's reached the point where state Medicaid officials will blatantly bully and threaten a mom with taking away her child. I know, because it happened to me last week.

Our petition is asking DHHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to reverse the CMS ruling on July 7, 2009, that cuts in medicaid services did not violate the MOE requirement of Section 5001 of the ARRA. We are also asking that DHHS enforce federal laws that are in place to protect the civil rights of the elderly and Americans with disabilities, and ensure that states use stimulus funds to restore cuts made in services since last July 1, 2008.

How to keep everyone traveling in your group on the same (web) page

I’m always getting asked about splitting up payments among different members of the group, and I’ve always wished I could help my guests keep their guests informed.

I just found Groople's Groopvine - it’s a free online site to keep your trip organized and help everyone in your group keep in touch. Sign up for the site is free, and I’m not getting anything from suggesting them.

Regardless what type of group you’re trying to plan travel for it looks like this website might help keep everyone on the same track.
