You have GOT to be kidding me.

Mission Hospital in #Asheville snagged the 95 extra beds the state was awarding to the area, even after countless failures of HCA to effectively run this system.

We had 3 other systems vying for these beds, and at least 100 people at the community meeting when we got to talk about which group should be awarded the beds.

This is the worst possible outcome.

So, just heard a "rumor" that our local hospital (that today said they were cancelling surgeries) has been on trauma and stroke diversion for more than 24 hours before that (meaning no trauma or stroke patients were being sent there) because their stuff isn't clean. And that new supplies that were due at 0800 Monday still hadn't arrived 16 hours later.

Will Australia’s social media ban survive a high court challenge from two teenagers? Most likely – here’s why
Luke Beck https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/dec/11/social-media-ban-australia-teen-high-court-challenge #auslaw #auspol #HCA Not sure about the comparison to the #plainpacks case - as that was about acquisition to property, whereas the social media ban matter is about the implied freedom of political communication.

More fuckery from #HCA and #MIssionHospital here in #Asheville after the death of yet another patient, and the continued under-staffing of our hospital system. This is what for-profit hospitals will all be doing in our current era soon.

HCA keeps saying how AVL is their best system, as they're making the most money here. But, as reported, HCA "never committed to quality care."

I still want that on a billboard.

The High Court of Australia has ruled in favour of the La Perouse Local Aboriginal Land Council, affirming its claim on disputed Crown land in Paddington, in Sydney's east. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09-03/la-perouse-aboriginal-council-wins-over-paddington-land-claim/105728986

Three out of the five justices on the bench agreed the land was not "in use" by the current leaseholder Quarry Street Pty Ltd on the site of the now shut-down Paddington Bowling Club.

The Aboriginal Land Rights Act allows Aboriginal land councils to claim Crown lands that are unused. #auslaw #auspol #HCA

...and here we are, let's just make this explicit.

They only changed when CMS put them in "immediate jeopardy" last year and with this regime I doubt that will ever happen again.

#HCA #ProfitsOverCare

Our #Mission hospital system, currently being run into the ground by #HCA has made yet another step to keep our #ER from functioning safely.

This is after the system was placed in "immediate jeopardy" last year by CMS due to unsafe conditions, AND after a patient recently died in an ER bathroom.

HCA, of course, blames one employee whom it fired, rather than the meager staffing levels and overworked employees which are our reality.

During today's 4PM briefing the head of #HCA the for-profit corp that runs our Mission Hospital was speaking. He told us that HCA was doing an amazing job to support their employees which would be a freaking first.

Anyway, he also said that they were bringing in water tanker trucks, and have re-pressurized the water system at Mission. They are still conserving water, but water right now is working at Mission with potable water. Yay.

I personally think the CEO did this because their profits were down and they were getting worse press than usual.

But I'm a cynic.
