Sen. Jon Ossoff introduces bill to strengthen resources for Georgians with disabilities

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WRBL) — Sen. Jon Ossoff and Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) have introduced a bill designed to help Georgians with disabilities and their families.

“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,” said Sen. Schmitt. A website like this would vastly benefit so many. I am proud to sponsor this bill alongside Senator Ossoff.”

According to Sen. Ossof, the “Think Differently Database Act” will direct the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to create a website that provides Georgians with disabilities comprehensive access to information regarding federal and state resources available to them through Medicaid programs.

“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.
