One other aspect, if you are going to treat us as a medical model, then find funding like medical models receive. My 75% AG home is struggling to keep pace with all the regulations, including this requirement, so we can fit the medical model. I have two people taking the test. Two study guides costs over $400.00. With the test costs and study time, where does it end? Stop stating we are a social model only to pass regulation upon regulation that fits the medical model concept. For those homes with all private pay, new found regulations can be dealt with with added employees. What does it matter to them? But with fuel costs twice what they were 1 1/2 years ago, food costs up 12%, electric applying for 26 % rate increases, natural gas through the roof, min. wage just went up and set to go up another 70 cents per hour per emplyee within a year, WHAT ARE WE TO DO? WE NEED HELP WITH FUNDING, not more regulaitons. CAN'T ANYONE SEE THAT?
