The Wrap:
Noah Wyle is following in the footseps of his former “E.R” cast mate George Clooney, and we don’t mean for acting gigs. …
“Today, I took part in an effort by ADAPT to bring attention to the Medicaid cuts that have been made by many States and are threatened to be made on a Federal level,” Wyle said in a statement.
“To institutionalize a disabled American costs four times as much than to give assistance for independent living. This issue is about Civil Rights not about medicine. People who have the ability to live in integrated, affordable and accessible housing should have the right to do so.”
The 40-year-old actor added that the protest aimed to “end the longstanding bias of the Medicaid system, towards institutions and away from community care. The real shame is to see so many productive, intelligent people expending their energy on the fight for basic services to ensure their survival.”
