From what I have read, the new health insurance proposal will raise rates to the Seniors for 24 hour and live-in home care.

Why?  All non-medical home care companies presently do not offer or offer very little health care insurance. If the government requires each company to pay an annual amount to a government run insurance pot, this will come from increased rates to seniors.

You might be thinking: these companies should be offering health insurance anyway. Your right but the reality is that most Home Health Aides wouldn’t take it because they couldn’t afford their share of the premium. Under the present system, a few Home Health Aides don’t get the insurance they want. Under the proposed plan, non-medical senior home care companies in Cincinnati will be forced to pay 5-8% of payroll to the government. This will come from the senior’s savings.
