Another PPL disaster: They've created an Oct 1 deadline for hundreds of thousands home care workers to get physicals - or lose their jobs. Now clinics are overwhelmed, workers are driving hours to get appts, & CDPAP consumers are at risk of losing caregivers - all b/c of PPL.

CDPAP, a state Medicaid program, has had a rocky transition from more than 600 administrators to a single one this summer.

OUR STATEMENT ON SENATE INVESTIGATION INTO PPL TRANSITION: “We applaud Senators @JamesSkoufis and @NYSenatorRivera for demanding accountability on the failed PPL transition. After ten months of chaos—200k workers driven from one of NY’s most essential home care programs, broken

@GustavoRiveraNY @JamesSkoufis thank you for being obsessed - nothing weird about it- with the safety and well being of older & disabled NYers and home care workers, and trying to safeguard our taxpayer dollars from @GovKathyHochul giving them away to her private equity friends.
Why is @GovKathyHochul weirdly obsessed with avoiding accountability for a program where over 100k home care workers haven’t been paid? What’s weird is her giving our taxpayer dollars to a failed out-of-state private equity corporation. @NYSenatorRivera @JamesSkoufis

Now @GovKathyHochul is trying to silence critics of the failing PPL transition, retaliating against @JamesSkoufis and vetoing a bill that would make government records more transparent. If there's nothing to hide, why obstruct accountability? https://t.co/voGnjxcj1p

We and members of the press been calling to release PPL’s conversations w/ @NYGOVHealth about the rigged CDPAP plan for months - and gotten crickets. Now @govkathyhochul is making it even harder to FOIL public records. What is she hiding??
Hochul vetoed this bill. It would've enacted more-stringent deadlines for fulfilling open-records requests. As @NickReisman noted, it was one of a handful of bills she vetoed today -- all sponsored by Sen Skoufis, who ratcheted up his criticism of Hochul this year.

We’ve requested a meeting w/ @MikiKapoor and gotten crickets. If PPL is so concerned about supporting workers, it should meet with them directly - not spin the truth in the media.

KAPOOR: "We've been combating widespread misinfo, incl. from those who benefited financially" FACT: PPL is dismissing legitimate criticism from the people who are most impacted - CDPAP workers and consumers - while its private equity owners make bank https://t.co/ehuZGo1YDx

Private-equity operators are taking control of PPL, the company tasked with running New York's home care program. We must make sure the system prioritizes people over profits.

KAPOOR: "It's simply not true there was anything that resembled bid rigging" FACT: Laughably untrue. PPL’s name was in early budget drafts. Under oath, PPL denied they'd been involved in pre-budget conversations - then walked those statements back. https://t.co/ptGU5LhnS5

KAPOOR: "We're proud to offer consistent benefits... incl health ins" FACT: PPL is forcing workers into health plans that exclude basic coverage like hospital visits, making the "benefit" unusable - while letting PPL skim millions off of worker wages. https://t.co/LkJhOspupV

Offering hard-to-use benefits instead of cash could help two state-funded companies dodge a 2011 law meant to boost care workers’ pay.

KAPOOR: "Call times are down to <3 mins" FACT: Call times don't matter when workers can't get their issues solved. Workers are getting contradictory instructions & reps who don’t get their cases - b/c PPL isn't providing them w/ proper training. https://t.co/LtvSEU0qx8

Former employees with Public Partnerships LLC felt the company was unprepared to take over payroll services for New York's home care program, CDPAP.

KAPOOR: "All PAs who are properly enrolled…are paid on time" FACT: Our surveys show more than 1/2 of CDPAP workers still aren't being paid accurately. It’s insulting for PPL to blame workers for their own failures. https://t.co/u9h9Gd95FT

CORRECTING THE RECORD: PPL’s new CEO @mikikapoor made a series of false claims about the company’s mismanagement of CDPAP in a @politicony interview yesterday. Here are the facts he conveniently left out:

ALERT 🚨 As we've been warning: @HealthNYGov has arbitrarily made today the last day ALL CDPAP workers can schedule a health assessment: or risk losing their jobs. Given what a sh*t show PPL has been, we are hoping for the best and preparing for the worst. If you’re part of the
