"People with disabilities in Utah need to get behind MiCASSA not just make one phone call. They need the vision that they too could end up in a nursing home."
"Money follow the person is only talk now in Utah. We have to get the people in the grassroots to do something, just do something. They have to do something now." |

“This march should show those that oppose us in Congress that you not only have the right to do this march,” said
Biden, “but the capacity and the gumption to take care of yourselves.” |

Biden told the marchers that there is a strong case for MiCASSA and “we don’t have to back off in any way.”
“The most expensive thing to do is to put people into institutions. To those that say that we cannot afford to do this,” said
Biden, “I say we can’t afford not to do this.”
“This will be hard, but I have been a Senator for 31 years now and everything that matters did not come easily.”
