Did You Get an E-Mail From Healthcare United?
It has come to our attention that many RNs throughout the country received
e-mails during Nurses Week from an organization called Healthcare United,
asking them to take an online survey about healthcare policy. This
organization is a front for Service Employees United International (SEIU).
When you take the survey, you are giving SEIU permission to use your
personal information in its nationwide campaign against state nurses'
associations.
The following language is in the fine print of the "User Agreement" you must
sign to take the survey:
- The personal information that SEIU collects on the Website helps us,
our state and local affiliates and SEIU-related organizations to efficiently
and effectively represent our members, to pursue our advocacy agenda, and to
provide valuable member benefits.
- In order to advance these goals and activities, we may share the
personal information that we collect about you with our state and local
affiliates and other SEIU-related organizations, as well as third parties
that perform services on our behalf. Additionally, subject to applicable
law, we may share any of the personal information that we collect about you
with certain third parties that share our interests.
Do not complete bogus surveys sent by Healthcare United.
To really do something about the future of health care in our nation and our
state, visit www.hcfany.org, the website of
Health Care for All New York. This large coalition,
which includes NYSNA and a wide range of unions, consumer groups, and
healthcare provider organizations, is dedicated to achieving universal
healthcare by 2010.
HCFANY is collecting stories about our broken healthcare system and will
hold a Peoples Public Hearing in Albany on May 28.
