Andy Hill did great work as a legislator, particularly for people with developmental disabilities.  But the impact of his work to create the Community First Choice Option is overstated in this article.  The Wash State Developmental Disabilities Administration had a list of people eligible for services but receiving none that totaled more than 15,000 in 2014, far greater than the 4,500 reported here. Today that "No Paid Services" list remains at over 12,000 people.  It has been outstanding that 4,000 families have begun receiving some services, but we still have a long ways to go in Washington state.  It should also give Legislative Republicans like Sen. Rossi and Sen. O'Ban pause that the Congressional proposals to replace the ACA would most likely eliminate the Community First Choice Option from the Medicaid program. And per capita funding will reduce Washington State's DDA program capacity so that the list of those receiving no service will almost certainly increase.
