EVV causes harm
 

I am particularly troubled by a provision that has not received much attention: the requirement that states begin effectively geo-tracking people with disabilities who use personal care services through Electronic Visitation Verification (EVV) systems.

I have spent the past seven months gravely concerned for my future. With the imminent repeal of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the subsequent massive cuts to Medicaid, my ability to receive the necessary supports to live and work in my community is at great risk. EVV will place me further at harm.
