Current event #7

Home health care worker population is growing at a rapid pace. These people are needed in society and will never go away. With the baby boom and elderly population their need has increased. These caring and hard working people are barely making minimum wage and getting no benefits. This has to change, but the government is looking over the situation at hand.
This affects the community because other than their patient, the workers also have family's that they have to take care of and support. Without the right amount of pay they cannot do that.
I am very disappointed that the government isn't taking this seriously. These people are giving there time to care for those in need out of the goodness of their hearts and they are not receiving anything in return.
