Personal care attendants from all over Missouri turned out for the February 25th Medicaid Makes Cents Rally at the Capitol, an annual event put on by the Disabled Citizen Alliance for Independence. The AFSCME Home Care Union was a visible force at the rally. Attendants and consumers filled the halls and met with legislators to educate them about the importance of maintaining a quality home care program.
Personal care attendants are uniting to win a voice in Jefferson City. The legislature must adequately fund Medicaid in order to secure the future and availability of quality home care.
Governor Nixon, Attorney General Chris Koster, and members of the legislature also spoke to the crowd on Wednesday afternoon.
