Sounds like nursing will be the next career to stop offering middle class wages.
Quite the opposite actually. If you can hack it, it's a great gig. But only for the "proper" nurses (RNs, obviously, and to a lesser extent LPNs)....butt wipers (the aforementioned Home Care Workers) are never going to get paid well.
As for the OP, I don't know why people would be against poor people (and hell, regular folk too) having more medical options. The grocery store I go to (decidedly NOT in a poor part of town) has had one of these for a couple of years now and seem to be doing fine. The old people seem to love it (not sure what service they are using).
