[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]

It is 100% possible to find good people to work as home health aides, however, you need to pay them well.  Medicare wages will not be "good"wages, I am sure of that.

Now, if the government wanted to start actually creating government home health aid jobs, where they are working for the federal government and getting benefits, etc?  A "Home Health Aide Career Corps"?  That would be something good.
