In Our Own Words

Steven Walls and John Walls

 

"When John had a life-changing accident, I knew it was my responsibility to make sure he had the support he needed to stay independent.  But when I had a gastric ulcer, I didn't have the medical insurance to make sure it was taken care of.  While I was in the hospital, John's independence was at risk.  We need the Consumer Workforce Council to support home care consumers like John, and workers like me, statewide."

Time for the Consumer Workforce Council!

 

A Consumer Workforce Council will expand home care options for seniors and people with disabilities -- while improving wages and providing health benefits for the direct care attendants who serve them.

Tell our Legislators and Governor Rendell:  It's Time for the Consumer Workforce Council!

My Life, My Choice Launch Press Conference
