1. Good, our senior citizens need good care, and so do the workers...

Perhaps better pay = better workers? I'd feel better if I knew the worker helping my Mom get around the house and do other things she could not, was getting a decent salary and not prone to do negative stuff such as steal etc. Not all do, but I do feel better about the senior citizens and the workers. Both win.

The republican Oberweis bitched about the cost. My response to him is that what else are we going to do? Are we going to ship them all to senior health centers where you would have to hire casts of thousands (workers, health care professionals, etc.). And unfortunately, not all senior citizens have the funds or resources to pay for such intensive care. So what is one to do, Mr. Oberweis?

Jerk.
