Largest Healthcare Strike In US History

Please understand when one knows nothing of the subject discussed and cannot find an article to proffer, but feels a need to make a comment it is best to inject "Trump did it". Then go off on a diatribe against President Trump that is totally unrelated to the topic.

catastrophic,they system was/is broken and THAT was before Obamacare, YES it made it exponential worse and now we have a REVOLT, the medical providers r leaving,for other jobs,retiring or part timing it till retirement. There r not enough personnel to service the ill of health,aging population...DO MORE WITH LESS IS THE TYPICAL RESPONSE FROM ANY CORPORATION.....HEALTH IS NO DIFFERENT. Viola a visual of "no we won't take it anymore".

Let me repeat the info. AND yes, I know quite abit about the subject of our abysmal healthcare system.....
a friend of 20years with a master, going for a phd,who is now a preceptor has taught me alot,,my SIL is a
NP with a masters who works with vets. THEY BOTH know the arena very well. Your supercilious stance
is getting old.

OH,by the way ,I am on the ethics committee at Montrose regional hos.,as a private citizen participant.

LONG READ......but germane to topic

Ona Griffiths turned to the VA’s Western Colorado Health Care System. The VA, in turn, recommended three options, but only one had space and the ability to care for him, she said. On Oct. 19, 2020, her husband moved into Mantey Heights Rehabilitation and Care Center, an 88-bed, for-profit nursing home about 15 miles from their home in Fruita.

Kaiser employees have ended their 3 day strike. Negotiations will resume later this week.
Other than threatening the health of their patients, what else was did this 3 day strike accomplish?

Gave their demands publicity? I saw strikers near the offices in Wheat Ridge last week. They were not getting a lot of horn blasts supporting them.

No one who has Kaiser insurance and had an appointment or a drug refill that could not be done was honking their horn.
It is unfortunate that unlike teachers that strike who have their students go on the picket lines, the Kaiser union couid not get patients to leave their rooms and go to the lines.

I just made an appointment for my yearly checkup and the soonest I could get in was next April because I have no immediate issues. Kinda starting to look like Canada's primo system.

I can't wait to see what happens as millions of poor border crossers are added to our health care nightmare... too bad our politiciansd don't have to wait like we do.

The medical negligence and wrongful death suit comes roughly a year after Providence Regional Medical Center Everett responded to local leaders' concerns about nurse staffing levels and reports of Cheyenna's death. The letter that the medical center sent to Snohomish County Council and Everett City Council members highlighted that, similar to other healthcare facilities across the country , it had been greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

U STILL THINK I AM BLOWING SMOKE.....i repeat, THE HEALTHCARE in the USA is slammed, Trump's
lack of leadership thru the covid crisis is still reverberating, the medical community is trashed.....the above
information makes that CRYSTAL;CLEAR.....

Triage?
The nation doesn't have unlimited funds to treat every patient with the best Healthcare. No nation does.

THAT'S the point....triage was non existent...deaths occurred because patients were abandoned in rooms/hallways for HOURS. (no ONE DID A FOLLOW UP)
