[1]NNU - Medicare for All!
[1]We just recently wrapped up our Summer 2022 Webinar Series: Fight for the
Future of Health Care, and we wanted to recap what you missed and give you the
chance to get caught up. [ [link removed] ]Left Behind: How Underserved Communities Carry the
Heaviest Burden of our Broken Health Care System | May 2022. This session looks
at how underserved communities are already disadvantaged and exploited by the
current health care system, and the ways in which new trends like Home All Alone
schemes will make this worse. [ [link removed] ]Uber for Nurses? The Gigification of Health
Care | June 2022. The health care industry is trying to shift more nurses and
health care workers into a precarious “gig worker” model (taking a page out of
Uber’s playbook) and misclassify nurses as independent contractors. This session
explores how the gigification of health care is a symptom of the fundamental
difference between the corporate, for-profit model and the care-driven model of
Medicare for All. [ [link removed] ]Equity through Advocacy: Overcoming Technological Bias in
Health Care | July 2022 | New technologies like AI, algorithms, and data
analytics are widening racial health disparities and degrading the quality of
care that bedside nurses provide. In this session we cover how, 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. [ [link removed] ]The Corporate Abuse of Caregivers |
August 2022 | Home All Alone delegates the labor and the risks of care onto
patients and their families while hospitals charge the same amount – increasing
burnout and moral injury among unpaid family caregivers as well as exacerbating
gender inequities.We discuss how this model threatens patient care, jeopardizes
RN working conditions, and contributes to the broader devaluation of care
work.[ [link removed] ]Nurses are fighting back against these dangerous new practices to ensure
patients get the hands-on care they need, and you can be part of that effort. To
bring awareness to 'Home All Alone' schemes, please watch and share our 2.5
minute video that illuminates just how dangerous these programs can be for
patients: [ [link removed] ]Share on Twitter[ [link removed] ]Share on Facebook[ mailto:?subject=Home%20All%20Alone%20Schemes&body=Hi%20friend,%20%0A%0ATelehealth%20has%20been%20on%20the%20rise%20throughout%20the%20pandemic.%20Hospital%20executives%20want%20to%20exploit%20this%20trend%20to%20make%20more%20money%20%E2%80%94%20and%20leave%20patients%20home%20all%20alone.%20%F0%9F%98%A1%0A%0AHere's%20why%20these%20schemes%20are%20so%20dangerous%3A%0A%0Ahttps%3A//vimeo.com/698268377%0A%0AThanks%20for%20watching!%20 ]Share via email[10]Together
