I learned about it this morning and got so pissed off I had to take several laps around the building and aggressively started a manuscript about it. Insanity yet expected.
And to "protect" the AHA? As if they need it? Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

on todays episode of complying in advance, AONL or the Association Of Nursing Leadership cancelling DEI related sessions at the behest of none other than the American Hospital Association. “to protect AONL, (the presenters? how? by silencing them?) & the orgs they represent.”

In a move that surprises *NO ONE*, the American Organization for Nursing Leadership (AONL), self-styled “voice of nursing leadership”, complies in advance by bending to the unconstitutional EO barring “DEI”, by canceling (ahem, “deferring”) sessions they deem offensive to the current administration

brands that make millions of dollars off of commodifying and selling to the healthcare workforce need to do more than talk about supporting healthcare workers, redistribute those funds into materially supporting this workforce.

idk who needs to hear this but an unwritten or makeshift policy banning workers from speaking their native language in their workplace is discriminatory, racist and xenophobic “policy.”

Funding for this before a peer support line for healthcare workers impacted by the decisions of these CEOs. Nice!
NY state officials are considering creating a special hotline exclusively for CEOs to report perceived threats.

This "moral injury" parallels some of the same logic deployed in lawsuits aimed at dismantling EMTALA, & limiting reproductive care access in the ED.
"Moral injury" and "duty to care" are not the same thing, because that depends on the person making the claim to the former.

Defining the practice of medicine as "what physicians care about" seems to be another abandonment of the principle of healthcare as a right.

There can be no dignity in healthcare as long as healthcare workers continue to ignore our own role in the carceral state, refuse to acknowledge our capacity for harm within this system or resist the comfort of our own complicity.

There is no dignity in healthcare as long as people suffer and/or die waiting for treatment they need, denied by insurance companies that profit off of limiting access to care.

There is no dignity in healthcare as long as corporations can profit millions while patients sit in their own stool/urine for hours/days on end.
As long as care is provided in hallways because there aren’t enough staffed beds.

From personal trainers to in-person therapy, only the wealthy have access to human connection. What are the options for the less advantaged?

This future is not inevitable. It will be (& *is* being) constructed. This is just one of many narratives being spun to manufacture that consent
There are other choices for more verdant, just futures we can build. We must build. We will build.

It’s strange to see a call around a “lack of humanity,” from healthcare professionals who don’t find ongoing genocide in Palestine, police violence, corporate greed creating cycles of mass death or the violence of medical racism abhorrent enough to move in any direction beyond comfort and silence.

yeah let’s get going on nursing reimbursement so they can deny coverage for the length of time we do our head to toe assessments.

These for-profit companies who exist to “delay, deny, defend” and make investors even richer off the backs of sick Americans are responsible for innumerable deaths. This is, of course, legal and normalized by capitalism. I think Americans are getting tired of this. Thoughts?

I think anyone judging people who are celebrating right now are showing their privilege.
I have had to tell patients who are dying, grieving family members, & countless others that their life saving pathway just isn’t an affordable option.
My soul will never be the same. Don’t you dare judge that.

I think when it comes to the Blue Cross Blue Shield and Anthem decisions, it all comes down to capitalism being insatiable. There are no limits to the ways corporations can harm people for profit.
Yall! What’s going on with the insurance companies? United Healths CEOs was killed and some Blue Cross Blue Shield company is wildin talking about some they not paying for anesthesia costs past a certain pre-determined time period… WTH????

I think the blame is with United Healthcare. They have created the conditions for mass harm for our patients. This harm has now reverberated in the most extreme way against the leaders and symbols of the institutions who make the decisions that harm all of us.
Mike and I were just talking about this. You know, they just bought LHC Group. I think people are starting to understand that these insurance companies are a big scam, getting wealthy off the backs of sick Americans. I've been waiting to see what @sarahewarren.bsky.social says about this.
