More funding needed for those with disabilities.

TAMPA, Fla. – A Florida family is traveling the state, urging lawmakers to provide more funding to a program that could help tens of thousands of people with disabilities.

The Medicaid iBudget Florida Waiver program exists to help families whose loved ones have disabilities can find and fund in-home services, so people can live independent and healthy lives.

But there are currently about 22,000 people on the waiting list, making it the longest in the country, according to healthyfla.org.
