This chart clearly shows that the deal @GovKathyHochul is proposing @CarlHeastie & @AndreaSCousins bring to their conference on home care will cut wages for home care workers from what they were expecting.

Conferences need to send a resounding "NO"

@whec_bbrean w great story highlighting how last year, the state put 3/4 of a billion dollars to fund raises for home care workers - most of which was kept by insurance companies.

Story focuses on those getting a raise but losing OT bc insurance companies like @FidelisCare - NY subsidiary of @Centene $CTC - write they will never build OT into a rate, despite NY paying then to do so.

Centene is 8th largest co in America & ONLY gets public healthcare $$.

The “raise” in the NY state budget agreed on by @govkathyhochul is NOT #FairPay4HomeCare. Home care workers couldn’t afford gas, rent or groceries on $13.20/hr, and that doesn’t change at $15.20. And this will make some earn just enough more to lose crucial social services.

[Rebecca Garrard @garrar26]

“Health care depends on equitable systems”, says @GovKathyHochul as she restricts coverage to our undocumented communities and won’t pay home care workers a living wage.

[Linda B. Rosenthal “the #OriginalRosenthal” @LindaBRosenthal]

$3 wage increase over 2 yrs is not #FairPay4HomeCare. Failing to provide these workers the living wage they need will harm aging NYers & those with disabilities while doing nothing to solve our home care crisis.

Home care workers deserve 150% of minimum wage & not a penny less.

[Denise DiNoto @deescribes]

Thank you @JumaaneWilliams for your support of #FairPay4HomeCare. I know disabled people who vote are watching your speeches and I hope you will remember this day when you are elected to your next job. #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #OurHomesNotNursingHomes

[Jose Hernandez @Spirit_SCI]

If it's not 150% of minimum wage, it's not #FairPay4HomeCare. It's PWD and seniors utilizing more expensive services like 911, ER, and nursing homes.

Home care workers, family caregivers, disabled people, and older New Yorkers are counting on you

@GovKathyHochul @KathyHochul #150% #Fairpay4homecare it makes financial sense hold the line make history and give us care champions a living wage. We will be able to feed our families without food stamps. Do the right thing!!!!

[Jose Hernandez @Spirit_SCI]

This person survived a nursing home for 8 years, survived COVID-19, and he wants to get educated. Unfortunately, he has been in and out of nursing homes and utilizing expensive 911 and emergency services to supplement his home care. @GovKathyHochul #FairPay4HomeCare 150% NO LESS

[Denise DiNoto @deescribes]

#FairPay4HomeCare THREAD My homecare worker Tameka has been here for 2 hours. She earns $13.75/hr. 2 hrs = $27.50 pre-tax. It took me 6 months of steady recruitment to find someone willing and able to work these night shifts. I'm worried I'm going to lose a good worker. 1/

@CDPAANYS @GovKathyHochul Come and watch us as we advocate for our lives, our health, our freedoms, and our dignity. #FairPay4HomeCare 150% No Less

Did you get out of bed this morning?

Are you able to get to the restroom when nature calls?

If your house caught on fire, could you exit to safety?

The home care workforce crisis robs thousands of NYers of these simple things that many take for granted. #FairPay4HomeCare

[CDPAANYS @CDPAANYS]

Why do we need #FairPay4HomeCare?

Over 40% of consumers statewide reported that it takes longer than three months to recruit a new PA. For many, that means three months without help.
