Comment on CMS-2026-1916-0001

Summary: Southern Tier Independence Center, Inc. (STIC), a non-profit Center for Independent Living, opposes the proposed rule, arguing that CMS is overreaching by interpreting H.R. 1 far beyond the plain language of the statute. They argue the rule will result in significant cuts to healthcare providers and services for people with disabilities, particularly home-and-community-based services.
