Big Contradictions!

The disability community is deeply divided on state bill, AB 889, which would provide additional benefits to domestic workers who work for people with disabilities.
An exception has been made for people assisted by IHSS, In-Home Supportive Services, who are low income people with disabilities, so what’s the problem?
