"Governor Hochul's plan to [overhaul] New York's home care has never been about saving taxpayer money or stopping fraud. It's been a backroom deal from the start," alleged Bryan O'Malley, executive director of Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Association of New York State.
"History has proven this is a recipe for disaster and will only end up hurting the elderly and disabled New Yorkers who rely on this program and the home care workers who help them," O'Malley contended.
A 2013 state audit of PPL's work for Pennsylvania found that there were significant 'red flags' indicating PPL was not prepared to take over the contract, leading to lapses in caregivers getting paid.
PPL has also lost or not had its contracts renewed in New Jersey, Washington state, West Virginia, Virginia and Tennessee, raising concerns about their reliability in managing New York's home care system.
