Matt Patterson, Executive Director of the Center for Worker Freedom, had an article published in Forbes on February 13, 2017, on the SEIU stealing Medicaid money:

Holly is a 29-year old single mother living in Duluth, Minnesota. She has asked that her last name be withheld in this story for fear of retaliation.

In 2009 Holly began work as a personal-care assistant (PCA) to care for an ailing friend of her family.  She participates in a state program called PCA Choice, which pays a modest Medicaid subsidy to those who care for loved ones. Most program participants are women who care for children or spouses with severe mental or physical disabilities.

In 2013, Governor Mark Dayton (D) signed into law legislation that declared these home-care providers public employees on the rationale that they receive public funds, but only for purposes of collective bargaining.

She didn’t think much of it at first, but later that year she had her first visit from a union representative.  

It horrified her.
