There is insignificant fraud in the home & community based services at less than 2% fraud rate. The real fraud is in the Nursing Home & medical/Medicaid industry, where many elderly & disabled people die from neglect & dehydration. Also, the Federal & State governments are colluding with the security industry to fear monger and profit from the invasion of privacy and addition undue burdens placed on the disabled elderly and their caregivers. This EVV policy actually will make our vulnerable citizens less safe, not more, by contributing to the severe shortage of caregiver/providers in this underpaid, under insured workforce.
