Public Comment Guide: Proposed Rule on Access to Home- and Community-Based Services
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has requested public input on a new rule they have proposed that would widely benefit people receiving Home- and Community-Based Services (HCBS).

I’m filled up with gratitude, filled up with optimism, filled up with love for this community, but I’m also filled up with some fire.

I’ll get into it more in the following section, but the General Assembly is officially full speed ahead.
