See next page Supported CCD testimony before Senate Appropriation on the FY 2012 budget request for the Social Security Administration and the impacts of possible cuts to the Fiscal Year 2011 budget. Joined with CCD Colleagues to urge both the Senate and House about the drastic Medicaid cuts and restructuring proposals within the House Budget Resolution for FY 2012 introduced by Representative Ryan, noting it would cause a public health crisis on a national scale. Such deep cuts would undermine the integrity of the Medicaid program and would likely result in an increased number of Americans unable to access the care they need. We urged lawmakers to protect Medicaid from such drastic cuts and from other harmful changes to the program, such as block grants or caps on federal funding. Met with Congressional members in the House and Senate to discuss alternatives to Medicaid block granting as methods to save on federal spending (see also Medicaid) Supported the proposal of the Coalition for Health Funding for Function 550 program funding within the FY 2012 federal budget. Supported The Independent Budget for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) budget recommendations for VA and related agencies serving veterans for FY 2012. Urged members of Congress to support full funding for Social Security Administration to ensure continuing progress at reducing the growing backlog of disability determination hearings around the country. Discussed the potential impact of the budget proposal of House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan on programs for veterans and people with disabilities. Discussed the potential impact of the deficit reduction proposals of Senator Claire McCaskill on programs that benefit veterans with disabilities. Met with members and staff in both the House and Senate to discuss budget reductions in light of the debt limit and implications for people with disabilities.
