Health Insurance should be a perk..GRATIS, if not very inexpensive...
We GIVE our LIVES providing care, comfort, education, and our sweat and blood to not only saving but keeping patients healthy.
Insurance used to be very affordable, now every year it is ridiculously expensive, especially for single parents. NOW, On top of all of this, my facility is now mandating a health screening..I do not feel this is right or legal and plan to pose this question to some in the legal profession:
My current facility is now making health screenings mandatory, or I forfeit my right to the health insurance of my choice. I have been informed that with no screening, I will have to accept the worst insurance with the highest deductibles.
#1- I feel this is a violation of my HIPAA rights and my right to have privacy regarding my health care
#2- I feel I have the right to be able to choose any healthcare that I can afford, not just the cheapest with the highest deductible, regardless of a screening.
Please let me know if this is a legal action, because making it mandatory somehow seems wrong and I have a right to privacy regarding my health issues that are few, but so do the other hundreds of employees.
BTW last year they offered bonuses for doing the screening and that was promotion not mandated. Again I deserve a right to privacy and choice.
Please respond and let me know what you think....
