Florence Owens has worked as Carol Crooks' aide for almost three years .

She helps her shower, shops for groceries, drives her to medical appointments, and runs other errands.

Like nearly 800,000 other Californians , Crooks depends on aides from In-Home Supportive Services .

House Republicans released a plan on May 11 that would axe about $625 billion over 10 years from Medicaid .
