It's basically "at home" care, by a family member or friend who are not nurses, doctors, or other licensed medical personnel. It compensation to those individuals reimbursed to the insured for what would "normally" be paid as medical if treatment was in a hospital but at an hourly wage.

Most US insurers exclude payments to "immediate family members" (a definition for which the insurance company may craft for itself) for such "home-based" care. The premise for such an exclusion is, "You would not be charging this person for the care you are providing in the absence of the insurance, would you?"
However, the State of California has a program that pays in excess of $10 or $15 per hour to such caregivers if they join the designated labor union (and agree to pay the union dues -- which are automatically deducted from their pay warrants on the 1st day of each month).
Just another example of the strangle-hold the unions have over the mostly-worthless elected officials in Sacramento.

How can our caregivers join such labor unions? What's the criteria? Why don't we have such arrangements for our other states as well?
