Texas lawmakers debating pay raises for home health care workers | ABC Houston
In the state house, there is a bill that would increase that reimbursement roughly $5 an hour at a rate the state pays its own employees. The Senate's bill is at $2 an hour. State Representative Armando Walle is part of the budget conference committee.
"It is a lot of money," Walle said. "But we're focused on those people, those staff members that really need a raise. We need to take care of those workers again. These are hardworking people. It's a hard job, and they're taking care of the most vulnerable of Texans."
