[1]NNU - Medicare for All!



Over the last few months, we’ve written to you about the hospital
industry's nightmarish plans to increase profits by sending sick patients
back home to receive “care,” misclassifying nurses as independent
contractors, and attempting to turn more jobs into gig work. 

Now corporations like CVS and tech startup companies are trying to harness
new technologies like artificial intelligence and remote monitoring to
justify unsafe at-home care for acutely ill patients. 

These issues are urgent, which is why we’re hosting a live webinar next
week to learn more about how our communities can fight to ensure that new
technologies do not keep deepening the injustices of our broken,
profit-driven health care system.

webinar in our Summer 2022 Public Education Webinar Series, ‘Equity
Through Advocacy: Overcoming Technological Bias in Health Care’?

The consequences of these technologies for nurses and patients are
serious. For nurses, they increase nurse-to-patient ratios by jacking up
the number of patients nurses are enlisted to care for remotely. And for
patients, new technologies like AI, algorithms, and data analytics are
widening racial health disparities and degrading the quality of care that
bedside nurses provide.

Under our current system, new technologies like these are being used to
squeeze more profit from each patient by removing them from hospitals and
substituting virtual monitoring for hands-on care. 

Make no mistake, things would be very different under Medicare for All. A
Medicare for All system ensures profit-driven actors like startups aren’t
developing health care technology to serve their own interests rather than
the interests of patients and caregivers. 

Join us next week to talk more about these dangerous new trends and how we
can fight back against them. 

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 webinar that’s
just 7 days away.

Hope to see you there,

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.
