In your testimony, you stated that people with disabilities and older adults are two to four more times likely to die or be seriously injured in a disaster.

I introduced the Protecting Seniors During Disasters Act with Senators Rubio, Casey and Collins.

As it is currently structured, Medicaid can respond to public health emergencies and natural disasters.

We've got to take a stand.

The question before us today is simple: Why aren't we doing everything we can to stop this heinous practice?
