🚨 Behavioral health workers at Kaiser Permanente are striking for better conditions—and state officials are stepping in.

Kaiser’s billions shouldn’t come at the cost of worker dignity or patient wellbeing. Workers deserve respect, fair pay, and safe conditions. Patients deserve better.

I was gearing up to prepare for loss of coverage today and all the horror that comes with that since BCBS was still attemping to shake down my non-profit healthcare provider as of the last "business day" on March. Have got to get profit seeking companies out of healthcare - patients and providers(docs, nurses, etc.) should definitely be prioritzed over profit!
