Real Faces in North Carolina
It's not the mere idea of "change" that frightens North Carolina parents regarding the State's new Medicaid Waiver reform. We aren't afraid of change; our lives are change and adaptation - a carefully balanced juggling act that most cannot imagine, unless you live it.
No, what we are afraid of is failure. We are afraid of failing the precious children we love and care for. And without proper supports, services and assistance for our children's unique needs and circumstances, many families will be forced to make the unfathomable choice of giving their loved one up to an State operated institutional setting.
Such a failure would be the failure of the State of North Carolina.
