Home care workers are quitting in huge numbers bc the wages are not livable. @GovKathyHochul took a first step, but home care workers deserve FULL #FairPay4HomeCare, & far too much of the current raise is going to insurance companies. nbcnewyork.com/news/new-york…

@Uselesslegs Zack's Homecare worker, Chasity, voted for Candidates Who Care bc she needs #FairPay4HomeCare – at New York, USA

@GovKathyHochul this is the sad reality for many young hcw's. One of mine just lost her health insurance because she wanted to get married and she cannot afford it on the marketplace because you did not include #fairpay4homecare!
She's a dedicated young woman. A hard worker, a beautiful soul who dreams of owning her own home, having children and a nice life for herself and her husband. #fairpay4homecare would her achieve those dreams
Always a great day advocating for #fairpay4homecare when I get to say hello to my hetero man crush
@JumaaneWilliams. Boat row D with the Working Families party so we can #CripTheVote

The new pay increase is just a start.@CaringMajority Walmart stop until the full #fairpay4homecare is included in the budget. 150% of the prevailing minimum wage, no less! #carecantwait
@Uselesslegs @bromalley Today's blog post is about New York’s raise for home healthcare workers.

The meager increased that @GovKathyHochul implemented well push many hcw's over the benefits cliff, losing their medicaid, food stamps and Heap. The full #fairpay4homecare would allow these workers a living wage while the state Millions from social programs
@GovKathyHochul wrote no language into her budget that managed long-term care plans reimburse the agencies that provide hcw's, possibly bankrupting them while allowing the mltc's to profit $200 million of New York taxpayer money

We fought too hard to win raises for home care workers to let insurance companies steal the money. We need #FairPay4HomeCare. Insurance companies are pocketing wage bumps for home care workers, agencies say timesunion.com/news/article/… via @TimesUnion

"It's obvious to me that these workers—largely women of color in the fastest-growing sector in health care—deserve nothing less than the ability to provide for themselves & their families with dignity & respect." #homecare @CaringMajority @CrainsNewYork crainsnewyork.com/op-ed/home…

Home care workers have been paid starvation wages for too long. We delivered a small $2/hr wage increase in this budget, now @HealthNYGov must make sure it’s delivered to workers, not insurance companies.
With a growing home care crisis, we must pass #FairPay4HomeCare next year.
@GovKathyHochul demand that the #HealthNYSGov holds healthcare insurance companies accountable and reimbursing home care agencies! #fairpay4home #carecantwait #cripTHEvote @CaringMajority

MLTCs stand the profit 200 million dollars on the backs of NYS taxpayers while bankrupting FIS and exacerbating the #Homecarecrisis.
@GovKathyHochul @CaringMajority demands transparency that these funds go where they are needed.#FairPay4HomeCare
On 10/1, min wage for home care workers will rise by $2/hour. @GovKathyHochul, will you make sure that state funding makes it to workers & agencies, not private insurance companies? The entire system is at risk, and it's older adults and disabled people who will pay the price.
