Congress is Considering Deep Medicaid Cuts — Make Your Voice Heard!

Medicaid plays a critical role in providing health insurance to kids with disabilities and children from families with low incomes. It helps many Texas kids go to the doctor, pay for medications, and get other support — including the therapies provided by Easterseals and other Early Childhood Intervention groups.

Unfortunately, Congressional leaders are currently drawing up plans to make deep cuts to Medicaid. Representative Tony Gonzales -- who represents Bexar County-- is one of a handful of GOP members who have spoken out against the cuts. That means he will be one of the key votes on this legislation — and Congressional leaders will be pushing him to vote for it.

Please contact Rep. Tony Gonzales this week to thank him for speaking out against Medicaid cuts and to urge him to vote no on Medicaid cuts. You can call his Washington, DC, office at (202) 225-4511 or San Antonio office at  (210) 806-9920 to deliver this simple message. You can also click here to email him— or to email your own member of Congress if you live outside his district. 

Advocating for the needs of your child sometimes looks like letting elected officials know what those specific needs are and how their vote impacts families in their constituency. Who represents me?

HHSC ECI to Interview Random Sampling of Families 

Monitors from the HHSC ECI, the program that oversees all of ECI in Texas, will be auditing our program from April 7-9, 2025. This is a standard audit that happens periodically with all contracted ECI providers.

As part of this process, they will be contacting a random sampling of about 10 enrolled families to ask a few questions over the phone.

Your participation is greatly appreciated and helps us improve our services.

Thank you for your cooperation!

If you have any questions please contact Linda Tapia, Executive Director of the Easter Seals Rehabilitation Center by email: linda.tapia@easterseals-satx.org or by telephone at 210-614-3911.
