Plus the propensity for large scale fraud is just insane. When I was at the AGs office we busted a whole apt building (they had two residents who worked in the govt home healthcare aide office and were in on it) for getting paid for 'caring' for dead people.

I agree with the above

We need to create actual jobs for working class folks to provide home health care/aid for the elderly.

Medicare should at least cover part of this cost bc it’s actually cheaper than being in a nursing home (speaking of fleecing Medicare/tax payers blind)

This sort of job should pay better than min wage bc it’s more labor intensive, requires more skills, even if it’s just people skills, and frankly, I don’t want some scrub coming into my house tempted to commit robbery or ID theft bc the job pays so shitty they don’t really have much to lose.
