Wait. Thought this was for gay marriage
The proposition talks about 2 (TWO) major companies. Certainly, most people only hear rumors and watch TVs, they did not read the proposition itself. Go to college, people!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yw_nqzVfxFQ This is a link to John Olivers investigative report on dialysis and dialysis clinics. It is way more informative than this silly summary
This video didn't explain anything
This is such a complex issue, it left me with more questions. I need more information!
How does limiting profits of Dialysis clinics improve care? Sure I believe that people are overcharged for heathcare and something needs to be done but if clinics profits are cut they wont take money away from ceos or owners to improve care.
That 's true they don't care for there employee or the wages , yet! Companies are getting richer and richer. "Yes to prop 8"
I will vote yes. Watch John Oliver's explanation of the issue, in particular DaVita's role in this mess. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yw_nqzVfxFQ. These corporations shouldn't be allowed to abuse the system, and they are trying to avoid the consequences of their poor philosophy. Healthcare should be patient based, not profit based.
I don’t understand how voters vote against something that benefits people. So selfish
Please help
current dialysis patients and me, vote YES on PROP 8. Why? My Mother Rim Bin lost her life on
12-27-2017 at #Fresenius kidney care located in Vista, CA. My mother's death was
100% preventable but #Fresenius and their staff from Regional VP Jason Bauer to
Director of operation Rachel Tothill down to #Fresenius Clinic Manager
Shaw'Marie Clayburn and charge nurse Blythe Cutllar, "all" lied,
conspired and still conspire to not tell the TRUTH or let the TRUTH be known. I
have the sheriffs report with pictures, response from #Fresenius themselves
denying any and all liability. #Fresenius placed my mother on a slow path to
death through suffocation by the use of oxygen. My mother had pneumonia that
had gone without being properly diagnosed and caused my mother to wheeze when
she breathed. #Fresenius charge nurse Blythe Cutllar left my mother unattended
for longer than 30 minutes, with the vitals machine alarm off, in a small room
in the back with the door closed. I have an overwhelming amount of evidence
that shows #Fresenius refused to sign to release my mothers remains to
Greenwood Mortuary. #Fresenius clinic manager Shaw'Marie Clayburn called the
San Diego medical examiner’s office and stated I abandoned my mother's body at
the #Fresenius clinic located in Vista, CA. PLEASE HELP ME SHARE MY MOTHER RIM
BINS' ENTIRE STORY ABOUT FRESENIUS, THEY OPERATE LIKE A KIDNEY MILL!! YOU'VE
BEEN WARNED!
DaVita Dialysis hires anyone with a Bachelors in Business, no Medical background as Facility Administrators and makes over 120k yearly. One FA I work with, uses business credit cards for personal matters. If I notify HR, this issue will backfire and I need my job. That is why unions need to be involved. I will vote yes on prop 8.
I will vote Yes on Prop 8. Unless you worked or have been a patient at a dialysis center, you will understand the whole picture. These companies are ran by multi millionaires. These millionaire don’t care about employees none the less patients. Your just another number at the clinic, specifically “DaVita Dialysis.”
You know who will be the victims if this passes? The people who need dialysis most. Vote No.
"The number of Californians suffering from kidney failure has soared in the past decade and so has the number of kidney dialysis clinics." I think I know why. I had to take a medication for my Ulcerative Colitis that is known to cause kidney disease. I'm in my mid-50s and now have kidney disease. The problem isn't whether or not the dialysis clinics are making or not making a profit. The problem is the increase in diseases–such as diabetes, heart disease, and autoimmune conditions–that either harm the kidneys or require medications that harm the kidneys. I have to go to a renal clinic every six months to get my kidneys checked. The patients on dialysis are in wheel chairs. It's scary and very sad at the same time. I will be voting NO to limiting profits. If dialysis clinics are making substantial profits, then others will open dialysis clinics, competition will increase, and profits will decline. The cycle will continue until dialysis clinics are making normal profits. Vote No on Prop 8.
I have a test on the props for English and I’m getting confused so yea ima fail
No dislikes
just vote Cox and free YOURSELFS from democrats rules and gas taxes you'll thank yourself later!!! 😉😎😎😎😎
why has it risen so much…???? has any politician check why….??? off course there money to be made and revenue in peoples misery…They need to check why…!!!! not who and what…
Say…no….!!!! this is bad for the patians or people that are starting dialysis….let me tell you some reasons….
1. They will stop looking for donor kidneys….
2. Since they stop looking for donor kidneys ….you will be forgotten in the system…
3. Hundreds of dialysis clinic will pop up like dicks on
viagra….or like smoke shops in every low income neighborhoods…
4. These doctors from India will find a way to get a license to open clinics like Arco gas sations…
5. These clinics will be filthy and run poorly and become unsanitary places …just like Western Dental Clinics who abuses Medical monies…
6.Only one doctor with credentials will be able to open hundreds of clinics without his presence being there and leaving uneducated and poorly train personal and hire undocumented workers… will be another Quest Diagnostics where you be in and out…
7. There will be only one. inspector for hundres of clinics to manage their wrong doings…and since it will become a big revenue for some cities…your complains will be lost in the paper work…
8 Hospitals will not lose or gain anything because hostpitals are never understaff and are very sanitary and first of all…you have to go through them doctors before they say you a candit for dialysis…so it possible you might falsely diagnosed…😷
Both of my parents work in dialysis (20+ yrs) and they are saying no to this. They say that as it is they make relatively close to minimum wage, getting a yearly raise of I think 1 or 2 percent, or around 25cents (if the company/boss feel they deserve it based on their preformance). What they say would happen is that they would lower the patient to tech ratio to 3:1, so they would hire more techs and and cut down employee work hours. If they do become unionized then another chunk of their check would go to the union.
As for the clinics hygein issues, I can't say anything for certain. I know my parents talk about how OSHA goes every year to inspect how everything is done and disinfected and protocol and procedures that have to be followed. If OSHA does find any issues they close down the clinics indefinitely until those issues are fixed and the clinics can prove they meet all requirements.
As for rushed care, what I hear from my parents is that the majority of patients ask to be taken off early before their treatment cycle is done. Or that they sometimes come late to treatment.
Take from this what you will, but be informed.
