Last week, Ranking Member Robert “Bobby” Scott (D-VA), House Education and Workforce Committee, released a new report: Living Independently, Participating Fully: Defending Against the Trump Administration’s Attacks on People with Disabilities. The report outlines how the Administration’s proposed elimination of the Administration for Community Living (ACL) in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), deep Medicaid cuts via HR 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and the rollback of equity protections through the elimination of key programs at HHS all threaten the independence and well-being of people with disabilities and older adults. According to Ranking Member Scott, “Whether or not it is part of a multifaceted attack on disabled people, the Administration’s rash and ill-considered decision to dismantle ACL will ultimately undermine the services that enable disabled and older individuals to lead healthy and fulfilling lives in our communities. After more than 50 years of progress during both Republican and Democratic administrations toward greater autonomy, independent living, and equal economic opportunity for people with disabilities, dismantling ACL threatens to move this country backwards.”
