Whitman’s continued attacks on the IHSS homecare program are turning even staunch Republicans against her.

Here’s another post on the Whitman web site from Cheryl Rose, a homecare provider and lifelong Republican.<\/p>\n
This will the first time in my entire life that I will have EVER voted for a Dem candidate. I never thought I would see that day but it has come to that. I have always voted Repbulican in every election and I have voted consistently my whole adult life.<\/p>\n
Wow-It boggles my mind to think I would even consider voting for Jerry Brown but I will. Meg Whitman doesn’t get it. The IHSS program which she wants to so drastically cut is a money-saver for Calif. My disabled daughter has Austism and her case worker told us that out of home placement for her would be almost $6,000.00 a month as she has to be supervised 24\/7.<\/p>\n
I do the same job but at about one third of the that cost. So how does reducing the IHSS program which saves taxpayer money? If Meg and her adminstration remove a lot of these clients out of In-Home Care they will have no choice but to go into nursing homes. <\/p>\n
What will this cost? I am very tiring of hearing Meg say that there is so much fraud in this program. How about some hard cold facts to back that up? Talk is cheap. Every day I have to feed my daughter and help with toileting and think about what Meg says about us “criminals”. It is despicable. <\/p>\n
At least Jerry Brown can do the simply math and he knows that this is one program to saves money.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
