Learn about the Trump Administration's Plan to Gut Services to People with Disabilities

Today, Rep. Tom Price (GA), Trump’s nominee for secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, is testifying before the Senate Finance Committee. Price supports Pres. Trump’s plans to change Medicaid, which threatens the autonomy and dignity of people with disabilities.  Your challenge for Day 5 of “Your First 100 Days Challenge” is to read ACLU’s analysis of the potentially devastating impact these changes would have on the disabled community. ACLU-TN is strictly non-partisan and does not oppose or endorse the nomination of executive branch officials, but we do believe in the importance of the public being informed about government officials’ plans. If you want to express your opinion about the appointment of someone who plans to gut services to people with disabilities, you can find your senators’ contact info here: http://bit.ly/2kp75ce #100DaysTN
