      <title>Indiana ended Medicaid waiver waitlists before. As thousands wait, could it do it again?</title>

      <description>Gerald Williams was one of thousands of Hoosiers placed on a waitlist for services. This isn’t the first time Indiana has implemented a waitlist for these services. In fact, advocates warn this could be the return to a decades-long wait for services and that wait is already having a human cost.</description>

      <title>FSSA increases monthly Medicaid waiver waitlist invitations. Some Hoosiers will still wait months</title>

      <description>The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration announced it will almost double the number of people it processes off of waitlists for home- and community-based services. But that means a majority of people waiting for slots will still have to wait for months.</description>
