The following excerpt is from Guerrero v. Superior Court of Sonoma Cnty., A133202 (Cal. App. 2013):
13. "Moreover, delivery of the services in this manner substitutes for delivery of equivalent services by covered employees in institutions or by the employees of contractors in the home. We discern no reason or policy to expose workers who perform these services, as did [the IHSS worker], to differential exposure to uninsured status because of the choice of means by which the work is organized."
