thezerobit<p>I'm one of the 74,000 people impacted by this breakdown of contract negotiations between UnitedHealthcare and OHSU. I see specialists for a rare condition at OHSU, so this is a personal nightmare for me. If I lose coverage at OHSU, I'm going to be losing critical care for myself (and family members with the same condition).</p><p><a href="https://www.koin.com/news/oregon/not-sustainable-ohsu-unitedhealthcare-near-end-of-contract-amid-ongoing-negotiations/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">koin.com/news/oregon/not-susta</span><span class="invisible">inable-ohsu-unitedhealthcare-near-end-of-contract-amid-ongoing-negotiations/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://anticapitalist.party/tags/OHSU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OHSU</span></a> <a href="https://anticapitalist.party/tags/UnitedHealthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UnitedHealthcare</span></a> <a href="https://anticapitalist.party/tags/insurance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>insurance</span></a></p>

Paul Sochacki<p>Well. Sounds like some things haven't changed much. I remember non-union CRA's (nearly all were non-union) with masters degrees in bioscience would be making less than specimen labeling assistants at the hospital who had only high school diplomas or GED's. </p><p>“He was sent an offer letter by <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OHSU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OHSU</span></a> offering him 25% of his current salary,” Druker said. “He was kind enough to call us back and say, ‘was there some kind of a mistake?’ Unfortunately, there was not.”</p><p><a href="https://www.opb.org/article/2024/12/05/ohsus-brian-druker-on-morale-cost-cutting-and-the-plan-to-acquire-legacy-health/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">opb.org/article/2024/12/05/ohs</span><span class="invisible">us-brian-druker-on-morale-cost-cutting-and-the-plan-to-acquire-legacy-health/</span></a></p>
Kara Shallenberg<p>Day 11 in the hospital, and this is the first time I’ve wished for my <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>knitting</span></a>. Just wasn’t feeling well enough till today. I’m pretty sure they’ll send me home this afternoon… </p><p>Imma say it again: <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/OHSU" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OHSU</span></a> is the best hospital!</p>
Kara Shallenberg<p>I am beyond furious. Had he been allowed to go to my good university hospital (love ya, <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/OHSU" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OHSU</span></a>) I’m sure he would have had proper diagnosis and treatment right away. 🤬</p><p>UK friends, save your NHS or die trying. Don’t let them privatize you into a US-style healthcare nightmare.</p><p>*screams into void*</p>
