The CEO of Kaiser died at age 59. Let that sink in.

But what does that have to do with a healthcare strike happening now?

Kaiser is a badly run healthcare agency that pinches its pennies so tightly its CEO died young of a cardiovascular condition

Same. Good for these workers, but private health insurance shouldn't exist in the first place.
