Description
Since 1973, Federal Medicaid funds have been used to help support services for institutionalized mentally retarded persons. Legislation has been introduced in the 99th Congress that would transfer most of these funds out of the institutions and make this funding available for community -based services. Advocates of the legislation believe that community -based services are preferable to institutional services, but some parents of institutionalized persons feel that the larger residential facilities are a necessary part of the service system.,CRS 85-998 EPW,"October 18, 1985.",SuDoc# LC 14. 18/3
