"This is what happens when the government gives into private equity to enrich the already-rich... Gov Hochul must not impose programs without input from the affected community. And when the affected community cries out and says, "this is not working," she must be responsive as an elected official."

These records confirm what we’ve suspected all along: state officials wanted private equity-backed PPL to take over CDPAP from the start. This is exactly why we need the Home Care Transparency Act in this year’s state budget. @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social @leaderasc.bsky.social

📢 TAKE ACTION: Pressure continues to grow around our urgent fight for CDPAP transparency in this year's state budget. Today, we are asking you to make TWO calls between 12-3 PM to the leaders of the state legislature, Senate Majority Leader Stewart-Cousins and Assembly Speaker Heastie

THOUSANDS of New Yorkers have come to Albany to tell our legislators we need them to #TaxTheRich for universal childcare and fair wages for care workers. @caringmrising.bsky.social @ourtimefornyc.bsky.social

“Come for one, face us all! We will pass New York For All!” Marching to the Capitol with @ourtimefornyc.bsky.social @thenyic.bsky.social @maketheroadny.bsky.social @socialists.nyc @caringmrising.bsky.social and so many more!

Happy Tax the Rich Day! We are thrilled to be uniting with thousands of New Yorkers today in Albany! At a time when we’re facing federal Medicaid cuts, especially in the wealthiest state in the nation, we must tax the first wealthiest. We can afford to care for everybody!

😂 “I don’t believe it,” Senator Rivera [said] of the governor’s claimed savings last week. “Saying that we save $1.2B from the changes to CDPAP is like me saying Salma Hayek is my girlfriend. I’d like it to be true, but until I show up somewhere with her on my arm, it’s not.”

"It's time to stop throwing good $$ after bad, and eliminate MLTC in favor of the Home Care Savings & Reinvestment Act so we can focus the $ on person-centered care people need & use instead of insurance company middlemen that takes hundreds of millions out of the system & offers nothing in return."

📢 Call your legislators for CDPAP oversight! We are pounding the pavement for CDPAP oversight in this year's state budget and are asking you to make TWO calls between 12-3 PM TODAY to your State Senator & AM! Script below and contact info for your legislators here: pluralpolicy.com/find-your-le...

"For those who need care, the administrative chaos had real-life consequences. Renee Christian...said she lost almost all her staff during the transition. "It’s making it so much harder to get the care I need. This care allows me to remain in my home, be a mother to my daughter, run my business."

"This is one of those, how do I put it, unfortunate situations where we were specifically written out of our normal role to review a program like that." New Yorkers want to know – why is the $11 billion PPL contract exempt from oversight? cbs6albany.com/news/power-a...

Home care workers Clara, Vicenta, and Santa are ready to make an impact for home care at caucus weekend :) #CareNotCorruption With Senator Rivera

“I don’t believe them,” Sen. Health Comm. Chair Rivera told POLITICO. “Regardless of how you feel about the transition, I need to see what these savings are actually like. I don’t believe that these savings were actually achieved, particularly considering these ppl didn’t disappear into the ether."

There is far too much at stake for New York NOT to Tax the Rich!!!! (Who recently got tax breaks from the federal gov’t as Medicaid gets slashed!)

🧵 We were proud to endorse @delgadoforny.bsky.social because he took the time to listen to our members - older and disabled New Yorkers, family caregivers and home care workers, and to fight for a New York that provides health care and home care for all.

"What are the main transparency concerns w/ PPL?" Ilana, NYCM: "Y'know, just basic reporting that you’d want from a $11B contract w/ a company that hasn't done business in NY before, has history of massive wage theft lawsuits & ppl leaving the program, & selects a fraudster insurance provider" 🔥

NOW: After refusing to address concerns about private equity running our home care system, NYSDOH - New York State Health Department Commissioner McDonald runs up the back stairwell after the first leg of the Health Budget Hearing. What is he hiding? We need oversight of PPL's $11 billion contract!

We'll say more later but want to express our deep gratitude for your principled campaign, @delgadoforny.bsky.social! It was important & refreshing to have a candidate for governor who stands by people with disabilities, older adults, & home care workers. Onward to a more caring NY! ❤️

Wondering what DOH Commissioner has to say for himself as the CDPAP program collapses under private equity control? Follow along with us here today for the Joint Legislative Budget Hearing on Health & Medicaid! Our Political Director, Ilana, will also be testifying!

Good time as ever to re-up this: "Aren't people tired of me asking why Governor Hochul hates me, all disabled people, and CDPAP program participants? I'm certainly tired of asking." –Geri Mariano

🧵🚨 Make 1 phone call NOW to your State Senator to urge them to fight for common sense oversight & transparency measures in this year’s state budget! Home care workers are going w/o pay & consumers are losing their home care while PPL goes w/o oversight for it's $11 B contract. Script below ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

You cannot claim to be on the side of labor if you sabotage a union strike. The governor has repeatedly extended an executive order letting hospitals bring in visiting nurses, gutting the strike’s leverage. @nynurses.bsky.social deserve fair contracts. jacobin.com/2026/02/gove...

V alarming — and no surprise to us. Home care workers & recipients have been denied transparency on how a $9B contract was handed to a failed PE company, or how that $ is spent. @delgadoforny.bsky.social demanded transparency, & he isn’t taking $$ from corporate PACs! nysfocus.com/2026/01/20/h...

Today, I am proud to announce India Walton as my running mate in our campaign to become the next Governor and Lieutenant Governor of New York.

ICYMI— “Our previous FI was a nonprofit in our community. We had a single point of contact…I had excellent benefits as his care worker,” said Nicole Demme of Erie County. “Everything about it has been difficult.” Collapsing care isn't "savings" www.wxxinews.org/new-york-pub...

Zohran won't be able to deliver universal childcare or fast & free buses unless we tax the rich. Phara's and John's bill is 1 of 3 we need to make that happen. FYI: Governor Hochul is opposed to all 3 bills; @delgadoforny.bsky.social supports all 3. www.cityandstateny.com/opinion/2026...

Geri Mariano asks at Assembly Westchester Budget forum: “How are we supposed to trust that there isn't waste, fraud, and abuse in this new system with less oversight than what we had before?” Geri also reminds us that fraud in CDPAP is extremely low, just 0.002% of workers in 2022 (OMIG)

When it comes to home care, New York's Medicaid funds should go directly to the care providers, not to a single LLC owned by private equity firms. But that's exactly what Governor Hochul has done—and it's one of many reasons that @caringmrising.bsky.social has endorsed Antonio Delgado for governor.

Governor Hochul sold out both those receiving home care and those giving it to enrich private equity. @caringmrising.bsky.social is right to use the 2026 primary for governor to fight her corporate neoliberal agenda. @delgadoforny.bsky.social is running with all the right positions on health care.

Caring Majority Rising is thrilled to announce that we are endorsing Antonio Delgado for Governor of New York State! 🧵 Here's why he's our pick:

"NY's in a home care crisis, and instead of investing in people, we've been handing billions of Medicaid dollars to private insurance & private equity firms who add NO value to our lives. We foot the bill and our families & friends suffer." #CareNotCorruption @phara4assembly.bsky.social 🫶

The NYC #CareNotCorruption launch outside of Governor Kathy Hochul's office was very cold, but a success! It says so much both about the strength of our community and what’s at stake for consumers and workers that ~50 Caring Majority advocates made it out today.

🧵🔥 Brilliant zinger article by Caring Majority advocates @bobbiesackman.bsky.social, @lizzieknock.bsky.social, and Michael Solow addressing why “Gov Hochul, DOH, & legislators must address this self-created [PPL] crisis now, or thousands of our fellow citizens will continue to needlessly suffer.” ⬇️⬇️

🔥WHAT POWER!!!🔥 100+ Caring Majority advocates + @delgadoforny.bsky.social discuss the fight to defend care in NY & #SaveCDPAP! "Caring Majority, thanks for your persistence. That we're handing over CDPAP to private equity is VERY flawed... We must cancel PPL's contract & restore trusted FIs."

CALL TO ACTION! Complete our August PPL survey to tell us how you've been impacted by the transition to PPL! forms.gle/gmXZyzGZWux1... Past surveys have allowed us to alert electeds just how bad this transition has been. We hope this survey will play the same role @ the 8/21 Senate CDPAP hearing

Are you a consumer or PA who has been harmed by the transition to PPL? It's really important that you make your voice heard & submit a written testimony for the State Senate CDPAP hearing! It doesn't need to be long or perfectly written – it just matters that it's personal to you. Instructions ⬇️

Hand in Hand and @caringmrising.bsky.social member Julie Farrar participated in the Capital Crawl. In a recent interview with NPR she described the experience. Read the full interview 👇 www.btpm.org/disabilities...

PPL puts profit over people, and home care consumers and workers pay the price. It’s time to end this contract. NOW. Join us for a virtual rally this Weds @1 to demand that Gov. Hochul terminate PPL’s contract & restore the trusted providers that have kept CDPAP going for years. RSVP below:

New York's home care system is in freefall: 🚨PPL's top executives are jumping ship 🚨Their systems are still broken 🚨Workers aren't getting paid 🚨And now PPL employees are stealing from the NYers they're supposed to serve Gov Hochul: DO YOUR JOB. Terminate the contract and end the chaos.

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: PPL employee caught stealing from THOUSANDS of home care workers. This is Governor Hochul's "solution" to fraud in CDPAP? PPL IS the fraud. End PPL's contract @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social @leaderasc.bsky.social NOW. nypost.com/2025/07/15/u...

🧵BREAKING: PPL's President, CEO, and CFO all left the company in recent weeks. That’s not a routine handover - that’s a company in crisis: www.timesunion.com/state/articl...
