Nurses Sound the Alarm: Healthcare Cuts After the Election | 1199 at SOMOS Puerto Rico
Live from the SOMOS Conference in Puerto Rico, Hot 97's Mornings with Mero sits down with two frontline healthcare workers from 1199 SEIU — Joy Montague, a nurse at Montefiore, and Kim Utech, a nurse practitioner in Buffalo — to talk about what's really happening in our healthcare system.
With Medicaid cuts looming on January 1st, these nurses break down how the recent election impacts healthcare funding, why Medicare and Medicaid patients are already feeling the strain, and what it means when hospitals lose the money to care for the communities they serve.
They share a powerful personal story about a patient with cerebral palsy forced to jump through bureaucratic hoops just to keep her coverage — and explain why showing up to spaces like SOMOS matters in the fight for healthcare for all.
Healthcare is not a privilege. It's a right.
