Cuts to in-home care are incredibly shortsighted and irrational. Where do people dependent on in-home care end up when that care ends? Emergency rooms and hospitals. The cost of maintaining someone in his or her home is a fraction of what it costs to maintain that person in a hospital bed. The state might save a little money this year only to find itself in a much deeper hole next year.
