[1]NNU - Medicare for All!

Right now, the hospital industry is peddling
a dangerous new scheme we’re calling “Home All Alone” — a nightmarish plan
to care for sick patients in their own homes instead of at the hospital
where they belong.

Hospital and health care executives have long pushed an agenda to increase
profits by cutting labor costs. With “Home All Alone” schemes, they are
taking it a step further: Instead of admitting patients in need of acute
care, who would normally be hospitalized, they are sending them home with
an iPad, a smartwatch, or nothing at all to be “admitted” for “hospital
care” at home.

As we’re fighting for Medicare for All, we’re not just fighting for health
care for all — we’re fighting for every patient to have high-quality,
direct, hands-on care from registered nurses and other professional
caregivers. “Home All Alone” care is just the opposite, charging patients
premiums while effectively leaving them to care for themselves.

fight to win Medicare for All, will you join us for the first webinar in
our Summer 2022 Public Education Webinar Series, ‘The Fight for the Future
of Health Care’?

Summer 2022 Public Education Webinar Series

Left Behind: How Underserved Communities Carry the Heaviest Burden of our
Broken Health Care System

Thursday, May 26
5:00 pm PT/8:00 pm ET
Zoom

[ [link removed] ]RSVP now »

During the webinar, we’ll hear from expert speakers including Zenei
Triunfo-Cortez, RN and NNU President; Carmen Comsti, Lead Regulatory and
Policy Specialist at NNU; and Dr. Robyn Magalit Rodriguez, Professor and
Chair of Asian American Studies at the University of California, Davis.

Together, we will:

* Look at how underserved communities are already disadvantaged and
exploited by the current system, the ways in which new trends will
make this worse, and how Medicare for All would address these
problems. 
* Examine an emerging scheme in the hospital industry to maximize
profits by automating and relocating acute care from hospitals to the
home. 
* Explore the connection between the epidemic of hospital closures in
rural areas and communities of color and the emergence of a two-tiered
system that exploits and undervalues health care workers while forcing
poor and marginalized patients to rely on telehealth, retail clinics
like CVS Minute Clinics, and DIY care in the home.

If you
don’t want to miss this essential discussion about the next battleground
for the future of health care, [ [link removed] ]please RSVP here for our first webinar
that’s just a week away.

Looking forward to seeing you there to deepen our collective knowledge and
continue our fight for health care justice together.

In solidarity,

Nurses’ Campaign to Win Medicare for All

P.S. To bring awareness to “Home All Alone” schemes, we created a video
that illuminates just how dangerous these programs can be for patients.
