PLEASE VOTE "YES" ON AMENDMENT 51!!
This admendment will increase funding for the developmentally disabled for services! Currently, there is a 2+ years wait for the Medicaid Waiver here in Colorado for children who are developmentally disabled under the age of 18. They cannot get services or have to pay rediculous amounts out of pocket to afford health care, physical therapy, speech therapy,etc. Several years ago, we got Cadence on the list and he was lucky enough to get off the list and on Medicaid only after 4 months. We are very grateful that his healthcare and services are covered since they would not be or we would have to pay a large amount out of pocket if he were on a private or group insurance plan.

***UPDATE*** I am sad to report that the citizens of Colorado do not think my son and others like him are literally worth 2 cents (the amendment would have taken 2 cents from every $10 to help provide services for the developmentally disabled in Colorado). Thank you so much, Coloradans, for opening my eyes to the greed and heartlessness of the community I live in. It must feel good that you can hide anonymously behind a ballot. God forbid YOUR child ever need special services here in Colorado. That's ok, I guess I'll be putting on my boxing gloves and seeing you in the ring!
