North Country Matters host Donna Seymour discusses new legislation with Bobbie Sackman of Jews For Racial & Economic Justice and the New York Caring Majority. The Home Care Savings & Reinvestment Act would stop the state from giving insurance companies billions of dollars by removing these ineffective middle men and finally realizing the promise of care coordination and care management, while returning home care management directly to the State. The Act will generate ~$3 billion in savings annually, which could be used to pay for growing home care needs, improve service quality, and ensure continuity of care by funding higher wages for home care workers to help resolve New York’s worst-in-the-nation home care worker shortage.
