Unions to Lose Ability to Take Money from Home Healthcare Workers

The Trump administration announced Tuesday that it would roll back a regulation approved in 2014 under the Obama administration that authorized states to divert Medicaid funds sent to state-subsidized home healthcare workers to third parties.

The Washington Examiner reports under the proposed new rules, states would be prohibited from diverting any funds away from the workers and given most often to unions.  

Medicaid-funded homecare programs pay people, who are often family members, to take care of invalids, but under the Obama regulations, often some of that pay is given to unions.

Critics cheered the news, arguing that homecare workers often aren't even aware that they are members of unions or that the deductions are being made.
