I support the comments made by Virginia Ability Alliance. Specifically relevent to my family situation is the waiver wait list - though the funding for DD Waivers is beyond the control of DBHDS, the long and continuously growing waiting list to access the DD Waiver is a foremost concern. We would support any consideration on an 1115c Waiver, or other federal contract, that would not allow a waiting list for basic care services.

It is disheartning that many other states offer far more support to disabled Americans than Virginia does. Now is the time for change!
