		<description>Hey, Roy

I haven&#039;t found anyone who knows for sure how that language got into the platform, but when I asked Lee Goldberg of the SEIU&#039;s Long Term Care Division, he listed everyone anyone else had mentioned and then some. So here&#039;s his best guess: &quot;Probably the result of that message coming from a lot of different corners: us, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.phinational.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;you&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iom.edu/CMS/3809/40113/53452.aspx&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;IOM panel participants&lt;/a&gt;, coalition partners in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lcao.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;LCAO&lt;/a&gt;, etc...&quot; </description>

		<description>John Hale of the Iowa CareGivers Association just let me know that there are actually two references to direct-care workers in the platform. The first is the call for &quot;A Strong Health Care Workforce.&quot; It&#039;s on page 12, under &quot;Affordable, Quality Health Care Coverage for All Americans,&quot; and it says: 

&quot;Through training and reimbursement incentives, there must be a commitment to sufficient and well-qualified primary care physicians and nurses as well as direct care workers.&quot;</description>

		<description>I was glad to hear about this, too.  I think we can expect many attempts to amend/change/polish the Platform   I would ask for the word &quot;other&quot; to be inserted before the words &quot;health care workders.&quot;</description>
