I just want to share with you an inspiring story of a success in the never-ending fight to get insurers to treat their customers fairly.
There's a phrase I'm hearing more and more - Death by Spreadsheet.
It means all the times when the insurance companies' bottom line takes precedence over the patient's life.
But a determined family, a great group of high school students and a real fighting nurses union have managed to win a round in the fight for patient's lives over profit. You can read the whole story here:
It gives you a window into the value of a union that puts patient advocay first and how we can learn to take our mission of caring beyond the bedside and to the streets if needed.
Patient advocacy exists whether there is a union or not.
True, but my experience is that with a strong union behind you like the California Nurses Association and the National Nurses Organizing Committee you have more power to make the difference.
