[1]NNU - Medicare for All!



Last week, we had a packed webinar to discuss the future of health care
and the hospital industry's nightmarish new “Home All Alone” plan. 

Under this new scheme, hospitals are seeking to increase profits by
sending acutely sick patients home to receive “care,” instead of at the
hospital where they belong.

And this is just one example of their dangerous schemes. Right now, the
industry is also trying to shift more nurses and health care workers into
a precarious “gig worker” model. They are attempting to take a page out of
Uber’s playbook and misclassify nurses as independent contractors, turning
their jobs into gig work.

Health Care” here.

On the call, we discussed the impact of this model on patient care, job
quality, and worker power. 

In addition, we explored how these types of schemes by the hospital
industry are a symptom of the fundamental difference between the corporate
for-profit model and the care driven model of Medicare for All that nurses
envision. 

This gig work trend is just one example of the many ways that the
corporate health care industry is trying to restructure our health care
system to maximize their profits at the expense of patients and
professional caregivers. We won’t allow it.
