    Having been disabled and on Medicaid in the past, I understand how important it is to have in home care. I was bed-ridden, unable to feed or bathe myself. I was also a single mother of 2 children under the age of 4. I was able to have an assistant come in and care for me for 20 hours a week, no more. It is critical for not only physical health, but also emotional and mental well being to have the necessary assistance to care for basic needs.

    I don't understand? Why were the hours of the CNA Nurse cut to 28? This is a shame as I know first hand how much people rely on the carer. I hope that everything turns out for the best,
