@LiveLaughLove. If this all goes through, disabled people won't be able to stay at home at all. I noticed you didn't get an answer from them. It's just a propaganda site. You should be fighting this tooth and nail, my friend.

Will the medicaid also cover dental for the disabled if they live at home...at this time in Texas, only those who live in a state institution or a group home can keep their medicaid coverage for dental. It is very expensive for individuals who need to have sedation for dental care..costs are in the thousands of dollars. In Texas they are still refusing to move people out of state institutions..We now have over 4000 or more still on waiting lists and the wait is over ten years. Pat Evans
