SYNGAP10

Please give my video a watch and SAVE MEDICAID!   Do it as if your child's life depends on it. I want to emphasize the importance of the current moment regarding Medicaid, not to alarm you, but to underscore the urgency of the situation. This is a critical time for the well-being of our loved ones, and the need to act has never been more pressing.   For over 30 years, I’ve been advocating at the state legislature level and with congressional members, but the potential cuts to Medicaid we are facing now are unlike anything we've encountered before. We must work together to protect this vital resource. Your support could make a significant difference.   To reach out to your Congressional Member consider these two resources: - Epilepsy Foundation: https://www.epilepsy.com/advocacy/advocate  - ARC of US: https://p2a.co/lRPDZ5C  What Medicaid means to your family: https://action.thearc.org/3jLx90b
