1. Social supports for disabled children and adults?

When Congress and states are looking at cutting SS, Medicaid and Special Education and everything that makes it possible for 99% of developmentally disabled people to have a decent life? I'm surprised women aren't terminating 100% of pregnancies with Downs Syndrome diagnosis. There isn't any way for a middle class family to save enough to place in trust to help their grown disabled children after they are gone.
