Many Brigham and Women's Hospital nurses like Olivia are dissatisfied with Mass General Brigham (MGB) health insurance. Nurses are not allowed to switch, and instead experience long wait times for appointments and imaging, as well as out-of-network costs.
"As a nurse, I know how important it is to have good health insurance," Olivia says in the video. "We treat anyone who needs care in the emergency department, but outside of the ED your access to care can depend heavily on your insurance.
"Personally, I don’t like my health insurance. I have Mass General Brigham health insurance. I would switch to a better plan, but Brigham and Women’s Hospital won’t let me. Hundreds of Brigham nurses are forced by the hospital to stay with MGB insurance when there are better options available."
Brigham nurses have delivered a petition to hospital management signed by more than 3,000 nurses demanding the option to change insurance plans during annual enrollment.
Brigham nurses are holding an informational picket on May 1, 2024. Learn more about these issues: www.massnurses....
