--- Begin Message ---Dear Advocates: Below find the FY 2004 National Medicaid Long Term Care Data compiled by ADAPT from information taken from Medstat.Though numbers can be boring two public policy trends are clear: 1. The gap between institutional spending and community service spending is closing but there is still a significant institutional bias that needs to be reformed. 2. The % of Home and Community Service waiver spending for MR/DD services is approximately 3 1/2 times higher than for Aged and Physical Disability Services due to the aggressive advocacy done by MR/DD advocates at the state level. State data can be gotten at www.hcbs.org. If you have questions contact us at 512/442-0252.
