Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff is working to strengthen resources for Georgians with disabilities and their families.
This week, Sens. Ossoff and Eric Schmitt (R-MO) introduced the bipartisan Think Differently Database Act, which would direct the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to build a comprehensive website that provides information and resources available to Georgians with disabilities.
This bipartisan bill would help Georgians with disabilities and their families more easily access information about the Federal and state resources available to them within state Medicaid programs — searchable by zip code — all in one database.
“Working alongside Senator Schmitt, I’m bringing Republicans and Democrats together to help Georgia families and families nationwide identity and access resources for people with disabilities,” said Sen. Ossoff.
“Those with disabilities deserve the best care possible, and many families of those with an intellectual disability aren’t aware of the resources that are available to them. My son, Stephen, has disabilities and was my driving force for running for public office in the first place. A website like this would vastly benefit so many. I am proud to sponsor this bill alongside Senator Ossoff,” said Sen. Schmitt.
