Public Forum: The Kaiser Crisis and Where is Kaiser Going?
On Saturday, February 3 at 2:00pm there will be a free public forum on The Kaiser Crisis in San Francisco. It will be held at the Community Room on 630 Valencia St./17th St. Here's the description of the event:

Kaiser Permanente, which covers millions of people in California, has been facing one crisis after another from the cover-up of their kidney dialysis unit to the firing of workers who stand up for proper heathcare and health and safety. This forum will have speakers from the trenches at Kaiser who have seen how it operates from the inside and how the system really operates inside and outside. Who is regulating Kaiser and where is Kaiser going?

Join with Kaiser workers, consumers and healthcare advocates:

I believe this is going to be televised on local Bay Area TV - will get back to you all on that.

If you attend or see it on TV, please feel free to post a shout out here!

I apologize for not being able to update for a few weeks. I've had a lot going on. This doesn't mean there's a lull in Kaiser misdeeds: I just have to play catch-up reporting on it. I'm going to post an update asap.
