The biggest healthcare strike in U.S. history is now happening as 75,000 Kaiser Permanente workers are hitting the picket lines Wednesday morning.
Union member Priscilla Opfermann helps coordinate patient care at Kaiser's Walnut Creek Medical Center. She believes the pandemic pushed healthcare workers like her to the brink. She says she now gets emotional seeing patients. "Patients will feel an immediate impact, especially if they need lab work, diagnostic imaging, pharmacy and vision care and so on because most of the employees who are the bulk of the workers in those facilities would be on strike," August said.
