Parents of children with disabilities are concerned and wondering what will happen to their kids as the Legislature mulls Gov. Brad Little’s recommendation to cut $22 million in Medicaid spending. Angela Lindig, executive director of the nonprofit Idaho Parents Unlimited, said she’s been fielding calls from parents of young children who rely on school-based Medicaid services and from parents of adult children who wonder what will happen when they can no longer care for their dependent children. “Our families are concerned,” Lindig told EdNews Monday. “They are worried about the services that their children may not receive. They’re worried about their child’s Medicaid being cut. They’re worried about them not receiving services in school. They’re worried about their kids’ future.”
