  Florida will be implementing a new “Tier system” to cap funds available in all programs (Federal and State) for handicapped individuals . All clients of APD : Agency for Persons with Disability (but only those who are not in a hospital or nursing home*) will be placed in one of 4 categories with a spending limit on each category. No information is available or will be made available on what criteria is being used to “sort” people into the categories...If you are on Medicaid Medicare or any other APD/DCF/HHR program of any kind you will be affected by this change.


* for anyone who is Dependant on a current service to continue to live in your own home you do have th option of turning yourself in to a state funded nursing home...many of you will have NO other option!

SO NOW THEY HAVE TO PICK ON THE DISABLED!!!!

This is unexceptible! We have already learned what happens in those so called nursing homes. I hope this doesn't effect a mutual friend! He needs his friends and family to stay happy in a very stabled life! Just how much will be effected? Are they also trying to say that they having a normal family home life isn't no longer good enough that they feel they can do better? I'm mad if my friend's way of life is interupted placing pressure and upsetting situations on him!!!!! If this is going to cause him problems in any way...I want to know about it!!!

We are all just waiting to see who is affected and how much ...this is yet another great move by our state government, did you know that non citizens who are placed on Medicaid get full dental coverage while citizens get no dental coverage in the same program...crazy !

It just does not pay to be a law abiding citizen in this crazy country.

Real “change” is more than skin deep...
