Manufacturing cities #Cleveland and #Pittsburgh transitioned to healthcare as driver of their economies. Hospitals are the largest employers in small towns and rural settings. The industry will continue to grow (it can’t be outsourced, not like manufacturing), despite looming cuts in federal health care spending.

I personally* have been very happy and impressed with Kaiser Permanente so far (honestly, they're an order of magnitude better than any HMO in Massachusetts)

but...

...major fail in scheduling w/ gastro. Can only do via phone, not online, hold times are utterly ridiculous and when I left a message to get a call back, never did.

(* yes I'm sure many people have issues with KP. Don't @ me)

Kaiser Permanente Strike Expands As Pharmacy, Lab Workers Walk Out

A major strike at Kaiser Permanente entered its third week on Monday, with thousands more workers joining the picket lines to protest what they argue are unsafe staffing levels at the California-based nonprofit giant. More than 3,000 pharmacy technicians, pharmacy assistants and clinical laboratory professionals in Southern California are joining the work stoppage, according to the United Nurses Associations of California/Union of Health Care Professionals, which represents nurses and other workers already on strike.

The #KaiserPermanente #privacy class action news is huge—they just settled the case and everyone who used the Kaiser sites and apps gets real money (not just "credit monitoring" or some bullshit)

And Kaiser didn't even fight it—which means lots more cases will be possible against other companies that passed people's info to Big Tech.

Say what you want about #CIPA but for a vintage law it's carrying right now

Who can get money from Kaiser Permanente data breach settlement?

The settlement administrator is estimating each claimant will get $20 to $40.

Been a #KaiserPermanente patient since I was a teen and almost all of my adult life. Been disabled with Medicaid+Kaiser overlay for 10 years now, and all that for nothing.
Soon as you’re too ill, they’ll toss ya, now.
