The committee heard from several testifiers in opposition to the plan, though many acknowledged the intent is laudable. Aging Secretary Hall defended the plan, which is being rolled out in the southwest, stating it will supplement current options and extend service to currently unserved individuals.

Look for the complete story in the Capitol Toolbox later this afternoon.
