NORTH EAST VALLEY HEALTH CORPORATION has opened two new location in recent times in our base neighborhood but CANNOT PROVIDE ITS OWN EMPLOYEES health care?
This is to us the Walmartisation of HEALTH CARE!
From a flyer handed out in March 2010:
"Northeast Valley Health Corporation (NEVHC) is one of the nation's largest community health centers. However, due to wages that haven't kept up with the cost of living, combined with unaffordable health insurance, many frontline caregivers at NEVHC are facing the same economic hardships as NEVHC patients and participants.CURRENTLY ONE IN THREE NEVHC employees qualifies for Medi-Cal and Healthy Families.
NEVHC management's proposal includes 10% increase in health care costs annually over the next three years. This increase in costs combined with minimal wage increases, is like asking employees to choose between putting food on the table and paying for family health care. It's putting families last."
