Also on Friday, the Department of Human Services Office for Civil Rights agreed to investigate Kentucky for civil rights violations stemming from cuts in medicaid home and community based services. This has a tremendous potential for all of us across the country who have seen our children's services cut with no regard to individual need. I track children's medicaid, waiver and EPSDT rights on my blog, if you're interested in links to the sources for my information.
