They could be forced to live in a board and care facility or nursing home in order to get the around-the-clock care they need. 'If this cut was not stopped, a lot of people may be facing institutionalization,' said Mann." Scott failed to mention that nursing home care would cost taxpayers at least five times more than home care. IHSS saves California taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Cutting the program is not only morally wrong, it is fiscally irresponsible.
