On August 19th, Fred Pratt, VP of the Alachua County Democrats with Disabilities Caucus, and several other ACDEC members met in Gainesville with Celeste Brown, Regional Director to US Senator Bill Nelson (D, FL) to encourage his sponsorship of the Community Choice Act of 2009 (HR 1670/SB 683). Ms. Brown was very positive in her response and is passing along our requests to Senator Nelson. The Community Choice Act will allow the allocation of Medicaid funds for long-term, home-based care.
