National ADAPT has tried effortlessly to work with the Center for Medicaid and Medicare and the Administration on Community Living regarding our issues with making sure all states are held accountable for ending the institutional bias. Some of these issues are how states allocate money for Home and Community Based Services. The attendant workforce needs network adequacy to begin getting a hold on retention of the attendant workforce. Attendants also need wages that will allow them to have health care and other benefits. Finally, to hold states accountable for the lack of oversight with guardianships. Again, National ADAPT calls on the Health and Human Services Secretary, Xavier Beccera, to come out and meet with us now.
 
 We are asking the public to call HHS and request the secretary come out and meet with National ADAPT Toll Free number: 1-877-696-6775
