[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a waiver program for the poorest but the income care is limited to 10 hrs a week. Would be lovely to see Medicare cover more! [/quote] So let's get some things straight. Medicare is for elderly. Medicaid is for the poor and has asset qualifications. Both programs are currently going insolvent in the next decade - even without this program. So no people did pay in all that much over the years. Even if this passes [b]good luck finding reputable people to be in house aids[/b].[/quote] Impossible. Impossible without massive immigration, anyway (as a pp pointed out). [/quote] But even with mass immigration, there is no guarantee that the immigrants will choose to become caregivers for elderly. I have four sisters-in-law who are immigrants and not a single one of them is a caregiver for elderly people.[/quote] So...do they have college degrees? Most immigrants who go into these positions do not have college degrees, sometimes barely made it through secondary school due to war, poverty, etc. Simply because four of your SiLs did not go into caregiving doesn't mean that the profession is not predominantly staffed by it. There is a strong demand for it and that is often why immigrants "choose" it. [/quote]
