While the amended application is a step in the right direction, certain proposals are punitive to the most vulnerable populations, including medically fragile individuals, households containing multiple disabled individuals, and disabled individuals who are members of single-parent families.
While it's good that family members who live with the waiver recipient can be attendants, the restrictions are harsh:
I hope that DMAS can find a way forward that will encompass all individuals and their families in a positive manner, without punitive measures against family members. Putting politics before the care of society’s most vulnerable members would be a travesty.
