Medicaid funds can help boost local and skilled jobs, raise pay to $15 an hour to provide a living wage for skilled employees to provide for families with benefit options partnered with state agencies and state businesses (money funds jobs and state and local businesses so it's a win win).  Skilled care giving is ESSENTIAL as we learned in pandemic and levels up local life- quality care, quality supports for families, quality job pay -spills back into community- COMMUNITY BASED CARE. 

Funds can also be allocated to Medicaid Waiver recipients to spend locally and in state (tax dollars staying in local and state) and with these funds, family can purchase essential and helpful care and support items not covered by insurance. Funds will support families and go into local and state businesses.
