The program is called the 1915 K waiver, or the K plan.  Working as a community college advisor and father of a child with cerebral palsy that is tube fed and suction dependent.  Without the K plan this state will see a wave of disabled foster children entering the already inundated system, and families that are fostering disabled children with the supports provided by the K plan will not be able to.  This is a moral imperative.  We must contact Greg Walden who is the chair of thecommerce committee and Oregon Representative with the most influence on the ACA replacement, and be sure he knows that the loss of the K plan will be catastrophic for our state. The K plan brought an additional 350 million in federal funds to Oregon, most of which went to fund direct care and support in the form of Caregivers paying them 14-17 dollars an hour...the loss of which will have a huge economic impact.  Join me on 2/25/17 at Lane CC to tell our representative DeFazio, and the state budget meeting.
