Web site hosts patient gripes
Healthcare Strategist Trend Watch, April 20, 2007
A Web site launched in March by Working America, an AFL-CIO affiliate, allows patients to vent about their troubles with healthcare.
The site, www.workingamerica.org/healthcarehustle was created to show the problems with America's healthcare system and bring consumers together to effect change, according to an article in the Detroit Free Press.
Visitors to the site can vent online about their own experiences and send messages to pharmaceutical and insurance companies. Working America says it will keep track of the messages posted and use them to determine the target of a campaign demanding changes in healthcare, according to the Free Press.
