Please vote YES for HB1762 which would give people with SSDI but who do not have Medicare yet the ability to have Medicaid. This would benefit people in particular who are on the Medicaid Waiver Waitlist and who do not have any medical coverage. These people with SSDI will eventually after the time period passes be given Medicare coverage. Eventually, these same people would also have access to Medicare. This should be extended to them now when they are in this gap period. Please vote YES for HB1762
