Arkansas Kids with Disabilities Seek Care
Parents in Arkansas are protesting the long wait times for Medicaid-funded home care services for children with disabilities, with over 2,400 individuals statewide awaiting assistance. Despite legal protections under federal law, many families face years of waiting due to limited funding and state budget constraints, forcing some children to remain in nursing homes or institutional settings. The Arkansas governor announced plans to address the waitlist by reallocating Medicaid funds, but advocates like one mother remain deeply concerned about delays and the erosion of federal disability protections, amid recent shifts in federal enforcement policies.
