As disabled people, “we worry that if we lose it, or if the wages don’t go up, we’ll be without care and we’ll be institutionalized,” losing independence, said Minges, who is a social worker.that faulted low wages for making it hard to recruit needed caregivers, lamenting that tens of thousands of Californians were not getting the care that they needed each month.
