There is no such thing as can't. No such thing as try just do.

"CDPAP used to be safe. It was created by and for people who can live in the community but just need that extra level of care.
Many of the FIs that the Hochul administration calls corrupt created the program and allowed people like myself to transition out of nursing homes and live independently in the community." —Jose Hernandez, @NYAIL

🔥 @JumaaneWilliams: "Public health should not be managed by private equity. At least 90k consumers have fled CDPAP into expensive traditional and nursing home care – something people warned would happen before the transition was made to PPL.
CDPAP providers are going without pay out of love for the person they’re caring for. Consumers are losing choice. This is not care."

"My PA has been with me for 26 years. She’s like family. She found out PPL never took taxes from her, so now she’s in debt.
I feel responsible because she wanted to leave CDPAP from Day 1 but stayed bc she doesn’t want to leave me alone. When I call PPL, as always, they never help. She’s constantly on the phone with them to try to get this resolved." —Iris Jimenez, CDPAP Consumer

"I've said from the very beginning when the transition to PPL started – This is a big scam. If the idea is to push us into nursing homes, which I think it is, I rather be dead.
When I try to get fill-in staff, as soon as they hear the word "PPL" they say "no thank you." –Iris Jimenez, Consumer

@GovKathyHochul "CDPAP has grown because it’s popular and it works.
We need transparency because we must be able to really look at that data, those numbers, those so-called “savings." I will continue to fight until we get the Home Care Transparency Act passed.” -@votejgr

NOW: Home care workers, consumers, & lawmakers demand transparency & public accountability into NY's $11B contract w/ private equity-backed PPL.
As many as 150k workers & 90k consumers have fled CDPAP due to PPL's payment failures, most switching to more expensive traditional home care.

BREAKING: Our very own Renee Christian and
@GovKathyHochul's PPL disaster have made NATIONAL NEWS!
When private equity-backed companies like PPL are entrusted to administer home care services like CDPAP, profit supersedes care. Here in New York, consumers and the trusted workers they rely on have had their lives upended.
'"I’m trying to hire new staff...But it’s hard when you have to tell your new hires, ‘I can’t guarantee you’re going to get paid on time or get the appropriate amount of hours,' said Christian."
This in-depth national coverage shows we are in a watershed moment. The record is clear for all to see that this transition has deteriorated care for so many disabled and aging people, and cost home care workers their livelihoods. That despite Hochul's claims, it will cost New Yorkers MORE taxpayer dollars.
So let's keep demanding: end PPL's contract NOW and hold them accountable for the harm they've caused, reinstate trusted FIs to restore consumer choice ... LET'S #SaveCDPAP!

Here was a clip from a rally that happened last week in Manhattan in regards to PPL. I happen to know the woman who is speaking and she’s very outspoken and a very, very good advocate.
