Medicaid, which represents $1 out of every $5 spent on health care in the U.S., is now the target of proposed federal budget cuts that would have major ramifications for states, health care and nursing facilities, clinicians, and the beneficiaries who rely on Medicaid.

Every Texan honors and celebrates the past and present contributions of Texans with disabilities. Data from the 2021 American Community Survey (ACS) show that people with disabilities make up 12% of our state’s total civilian noninstitutionalized population. That’s over 3.5 million Texans that have at least one disability.

We want to hear from you – individuals with disabilities! How do programs that provide accommodations and supports for you positively impact your life?
