1. Jus another day living in Bidenomics

2. Another example that this is a profits > people country

3. And at the end the costs end up trickling down the the consumer or in this case the patients! Get ready… the US is about to get sooooo much worse!

4. Do we want fat health care workers in hospitals? There should be a fitness clause.

5. Healthcare is pretty bad already. It won’t help in the short term. Hopefully it makes a positive difference in the long term.

6. Profit over patients
   – every healthcare organization in US

7. Writing on the wall leave Kaiser now go somewhere else. The company will not change . Worst hospital care ever !

8. Is the Strike occuring in Hawai'i?

9. Increase the pay and guess what the cost will passed on to patients..

10. MOST rich people stay rich by spending like the poor and investing without stopping then most poor people stay poor by spending like the rich yet not investing like the rich but impressing them

11. "I did that!" Joe Biden

12. I do CNA work in Assisted Living facilities, & am seeing the same low pay and understaffing – it's incredibly frustrating because we can't properly care for vulnerable people with Alzhiemers and physical disabilities. They charge over 7k a month for Memory Care services but pay the people providing those services well under $20/hour, & are understaffing the unit so that proper care is impossible. It's not safe or humane for the people in our care. Something has to change.

13. There are CNA's at my Alma Mater making 21 bucks an hr

14. 0:45 Wait.. do they make less than $25 an hour? I had no idea. That's horrible pay, especially since where I live the minimum wage for fast food workers is becoming $20 come April.

15. The grandson of one of my cousins is just starting his nursing education. I'm proud of him, but worried for him as well. We have a lot of nurses in the family, including that cousin, and I know something of what they are up against.

16. GO UNION!! Kaiser better pay healthcare workers what they deserve. FREE Universal Healthcare is NEXT!!! #PublicOptionNow

17. Wage Price Spiral

18. The minimum wage is misleading. That’s the minimum wage for hospital support staff. Kaiser nurses in California gets paid $79 per hour. Kaiser nurses historically had the best wages due to their strong union. They can always quit. There’s plenty of other lower paid nurses from other smaller hospitals that’s willing to take their spot.

19. We need rapid development and deployment of AI automation to replace pharmacists and technicians. A lot of the roles on strike can be better handled by automation and they are safer and more efficient. Why do we need to pay humans to count pills?! It makes zero sense. Save the money for doctors and nurses and replace most others with computer systems. It will go a long way to reduce medical care cost in this country.

20. These guys need to pay far more.
