57] – Jasmine Ruddy [info@medicare4all.org] explains there is frustration with the hospital industry's nightmarish plans to increase profits by sending sick patients back home to receive “care,” misclassifying nurses as independent contractors, and attempting to turn more jobs into gig work.  Now corporations like CVS and tech startup companies are trying to harness new technologies like artificial intelligence and remote monitoring to justify unsafe at-home care for acutely ill patients. Get involved with a live webinar to learn more about how our communities can fight to ensure that new technologies do not keep deepening the injustices of our broken, profit-driven health care system on Thurs., July 28 at 8 PM ET for ‘Equity Through Advocacy: Overcoming Technological Bias in Health Care’ at https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_KOdLI186QPWJGqfd5dmFoQ?akid=150604.162593.0-KTFi&rd=1&t=1.
