House Arrest For the Bedridden?
 

EVV has done nothing more than attack the most vulnerable group of people.  Is EVV a punishment for having a disability?  House arrest isn't necessary when one is bedridden.  It is illogical to have these expectations.  I live rural and am a caretaker for a family member.  I have been doing this over 30 yrs.  Since evv was introduced, our lives have dramatically changed for the worse.  I feel I now work for the state more than I do for my family member.  The added problems it puts on the disabled is a slap in the face.  The demands of evv on the disabled and their caregiver is impractical.  Multiple agencies descend upon the home taking notes and reports on a monthly basis.  Enough invasion is enough!
