It is. It really is. We unfortunately may have to wait until the Trumplethinskin Regime has come to an end. Then hopefully we get the Nuremberg-style trials so we get the justice we so badly need 😔😢

It’s time to arrest ICE agents who are violent and out of control.

To clear up any confusion: HealthPartners is an insurance company but in Minnesota- especially in the Twin Cities area it is also a health care provider of one major trauma center, a several hospitals and a multitude of clinics and specialty centers.

Btw, a not-for-profit - just means they have to put profits back into the company (non-profit is a charity). They put some of that 💰 into the big-wigs’ pockets 🤷‍♀️. Andrea fights hard against any wage increases. Happy to let experienced people leave 4 younger, less paid workforce. Good for patients???

Lol! Why? UnitedHealthcare HQ is here too 😐 HP used to be an awesome company to work for until Andrea took over. Morale has gone to shit. I spoke to the local SEIU president and he said when he started 10 yrs ago they’d have maybe 4-6 grievances at a time, rn they have nearly 70 contract violations

I agree, in theory. HealthPartners is not-for-profit, yet their CEO is paid millions, she fights the unions (they fight valiantly against her -so far) yet in April they dumped 1000s of disabled from the Minnesota Medicaid program b/c of profitability. HP is now all about profit less 4 care.
