Extremely proud of the work @tplohetski , @carolineghisolf and @nicoleMfoy did on this yearlong investigation into the Texas Medicaid waiver system. Part 2 examines working conditions, extremely low wages for caregivers.
For a base pay of $8.11 per hour, the workforce behind Texas' Medicaid waiver system faces grueling conditions — and, too often, violence. statesman.com/in-depth/news/…
