title: MiCASA (Medicaid Community Attendant Services Act). Amending Medicaid to ensure home care.
abstract: In recent months Congressional interest in community-based care for Americans with disabilities has gained momentum. The Medicaid Community Attendant Services Act (MiCASA) would ensure that people with disabilities or a need for long-term care are able to have a say in what kind of services they receive--and that they can receive them in the home or community.
