"COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, I ASKED THE COUNCIL TO STAND ON THE ISSUE OF PERSONAL ASSISTANCE. ALTHOUGH IT WAS A LINCHPIN ISSUE WHEN WE STARTED INDEPENDENT LIVING, IT STILL HAS NOT BEEN WELL-ADDRESSED BY US AS A NATION. IN MY OPINION, THE BEST SOURCE OF PERSONAL ASSISTANCE DOLLARS FOR PEOPLE WITH SIGNIFICANT DISABILITIES IS IN THE MEDICAID PROGRAM. IT'S THE ONLY PROGRAM THAT PAYS FOR IT. BUT BECAUSE OF INCOME CAPS AND ASSET LIMITS, WHEN YOU REACH A CERTAIN INCOME, YOU AUTOMATICALLY LOSE THAT, SO YOU EITHER HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN GETTING OUT OF BED EVERYDAY THROUGH PERSONAL ASSISTANCE, OR WORKING. THEN MANY PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD THE COST OF HIRING ATTENDANTS."
