#msg6028934MrsC67 : If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it really can be a duck. What in the world makes you think this is being done because of any interest in other funding sources?
 
sebastian2 :
Because I don't believe everything I read. I have questions.
 
Do other states have a similar program?
Do they fund it directly from the state budget or is it funded by Medicaid?
 
It turns out Medicaid appears to offer an alternative. Texas Medicaid offers ABA therapy.
 
Jeff Miller of Disability Rights Texas told the Texas Tribune that because the program uses only state money, it may have looked like a way to save without putting federal matching dollars at risk. That is because it could appear to duplicate what is already covered by a method that includes matching federal dollars.
 
There was no need for you to respond to me with belittling words.

#msg6029010Donnawisdom : It just gives a reason for people to freak out. It's not even a done deal it's a maybe….. it's being discussed. But then like I said if they do cut the program it'll be back and better when the next guy is elected. Just how it works
 
Chow :
You are right. A proposed budget is just that - a brainstorming session for bipartisan input. People are expected to put controversial proposals on the table so that details and rebuttals can be worked out. The result is to find out what is practical.
 
And it turns out the leader of the Commission that came up with this proposal was previously the State Medicaid Director who might know a thing or two about Medicaid funding .
 
I am amazed that so many people will react first without first trying to understand by asking questions. I know because I do it too. Posting on this forum helps me to try to understand first before posting.

My last post on the subject oof ABA services for children in Texas. If you approve depriving children of services they can't otherwise receive, that is on your conscience. I keyboard poorly when upset by injustice. My apologies for that. When you suffer injustice or har.m, I may just say, oh well, everyone gets their comeuppance. Most people say karma, but I'.m not prone to religious terms. I will now check my spelling sans AI.

This is politics. And the fast lane.
It just struck me as peculiar that your first comment about defunding a program was that the motivation was BECAUSE of a desire for other funding sources.
It also struck me as a knee-jerk partisan response.

Someone needs to step up and do something for the autistic community and with mental health. Insurance companies or the state need to do better in this area.

In a later post she mentioned several possible altrnate ABA providers .
One of the problems with life in the safe suburban space live in no real nexus with the accessibility to many things, including even health services in rural or remote areas. It is nobody's fault.
I read don't get your panties in a wad over this issue. I don't wear any. Not a cross dresser. But there are real children with mothers, grandmothers, sisters and aunts rhat do and those children will have services taken away. They, rhe don't cares, should stand face to face with those wm, lok them in the eyes and utter those callous words.
I feel another 2 hour suspension by an AI bot coming. I don't care, I can still read all and baseball is coming.
