Home Care Workers Sound Alarm as PPL Again Imposes Unaffordable Health Insurance on CDPAP Workforce

PPL's New Health Plans Leave CDPAP Workers Trapped Between Unaffordable Coverage and Locked-Away Wages; One year into PPL's takeover, 150,000 workers and 90,000 consumers have already fled the program

NEW YORK, NY (04/21/2026) (readMedia)-- On Wednesday, home care workers, consumers, and advocates will hold a virtual press conference to sound the alarm on new health insurance and benefit offerings under Public Partnerships LLC (PPL): the private equity-backed company that now manages New York State's Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) just over one year ago. Taking effect next month, these new benefits leave workers with little time and few real options. One year into PPL's takeover - which has already driven as many as 150,000 workers and 90,000 consumers from the program - the new benefit offerings remain fundamentally unaffordable for a workforce already grappling with unpaid wages, and trap workers between inadequate health insurance and locked-away wages.
