Home Care Helps Kids While Saving Costs
Washington AP reports on technology dependent children like 18 month old Michael Brennan who survives at home despite severe brain calcification and a large birthmark. Home care costs exceed 8000 dollars monthly, funded by Medicaid and military health coverage, prompting a Congress task force to explore waivers to keep children at home. Katie Beckett's 1980-81 case catalyzed waivers, shifting care from hospitals to home with costs dropping from about 15000 to 2000-3000 monthly. 800 children have waivers, but some 60000 eligible remain. States have been slow to grant waivers, with only about a dozen states reported.
