Voting for Medicaid Policies You Want
Voting in the 2024 election is crucial for shaping Medicaid policies, especially if you or your loved one have disabilities and are managing conditions like incontinence (loss of bladder and / or bowel control).
Medicaid plays a significant role in providing healthcare and long-term services to millions of Americans, including access to incontinence supplies, home-based care, and other essential health benefits.
Policy decisions made by elected officials directly impact the level of funding, coverage, and eligibility for these services. It’s also important to vote at both a federal and state level since each state makes its own Medicaid policies. It's critical that you vote this election year so you can receive the Medicaid benefits you need.
Key reasons why your vote matters:
- Medicaid expansion: The election results could influence the future of Medicaid expansion. You can help decide whether your state supports broader access to Medicaid or if restrictions, like work requirements, are introduced.
- Access to care: If you or your loved one have disabilities and incontinence, you know your Medicaid program often covers essential care and incontinence supplies. Voting for candidates who prioritize healthcare funding can help protect or expand access to these critical services.
- Incontinence supplies: Medicaid coverage for incontinence products varies by state and could be impacted by state or federal policy changes. Elected officials focusing on healthcare equity may ensure better access to these necessary supplies.
- Support for disabilities: Candidates' positions on disability rights and services, including Medicaid's role in covering assistive devices, long-term care, and specialized treatments, could affect the level of care you or your loved one receive.
- Prescription drug costs: Programs that aim to decrease prescription drug prices will depend on who is elected. This will direct out-of-pocket costs for those with chronic conditions.
