The Minnesota Nurses Association delivered a 10-day notice of intent to strike to Allina Health exec
Thousands of Twin Cities nurses are preparing to go on strike on June 19.

The Minnesota Nurses Association delivered a 10-day notice of intent to strike to Allina Health executives Wednesday.

It comes two days after nurses for five Allina Health hospitals rejected a contract offer from the company.

Everyone in Minnesota please support these nurses-Thanks.

Thought you folks all said docs should work for pennies.

Then a pizza order is called in.

3. Well, Mnshare, the Obamacare system, went tits up

And UnitedHealth is either pulling out or jacking up premiums so high as to be unaffordable so good luck squeezing anything out of that turnip.

My brother and his wife are moving to Wisconsin where belive it or not insurance is a bit more available and affordable, but not by much.

How the hell did things get so out of control

What the **** happened to the Affordable Care Act?

I'm not sure of this but the nurses may be risking their nursing licenses by going on strike. Now rules may be different in Wisconsin but in Florida nurses aren't allowed to strike. In fact, if a nurse quits without two weeks notice the nursing board will strip her or him of their nursing license.

6. Hey StarTrombone… I'm in Wisconsin and it is not better than Minnisota. How in the world does it make sense to have to pay 3000 dollar deductibles on top of paying on top of paying 6000 a year to be part of the club. Then add the co-pays 30/50 dollars plus payed up to 150 for one antibiotic.

That is what these nurses are fighting against. along with patient staffing issues.

Some people get better plans ie. elected officials, some executives, etc...

Nice try, but no cookie.

The nurses are going on strike because they want more money and what they would consider to be better working conditions, not to lower anyone's premium, deductible, or co-pay, you dimwitted primitive.

Yep.  Nurses, whom I consider angels in disguise,  get screwed in my opinion.

Leave it to the dummies to make it all about them.  Not one dummie could work one shift as a nurse.

Ummmmm ... why the assumption that it's out of control? What's been happening was predicted from before the "passage" of ObamaCare, and at every stage along the way since. Libs & Progs just didn't listen because conservatives were the messengers!

Yup.  Being that it's in Minnesota no less, wouldn't it be "Jugs up"?

LIbEral policy is never implemented to solve (invented) problems.  It's implemented to extend government control and you idiots buy into it because you're controlled by 3rd grade emotions.

You're retarded ........ deal with it.

I guess I should have thought about it a little more, but to have "jugs up" would probably require the bending of the laws of gravity and probably some other physics over my head. 

Those things have been banging around her knees, like a Newton's Cradle, for who knows how long.
