| I read this yesterday and thought how can they expand with no money... |
 |
| ...and today my question was answered: By eliminating jobs. |
That is almost 2,000 jobs they have cut from Jackson Health Systems since 2010. Aren't we supposed to be getting people jobs? Call that good for nothing Governor Scott and tell him about all the people that won't GET TO WORK. Mr. Mayor, tell Mr. Migoya we can't leave people without jobs and expand at the same time. And, firing people with benefits to replace them with part-time personnel is NOT okay. This sucks, I am boycotting Jackson. Maybe Millie Herrera can do something (see post today).

We need private sector jobs that contribute to our economy, not government jobs that soak up our tax dollars. Count me in as someone who is pleased that a bloated government entity is actually downsizing.
Jackson is a disaster. Don't go there, if you have an alternative. Bad to get stuck on that sinking ship.
It is expanding not downsizing: see the first headline. Most of Miami Dade County's biggest employers are public entities. No one wants to bring a new business to this wacky place where they can't even fund the schools correctly. So Drucker you would just leave everyone here out of work waiting for Godot?
Miami is in a Catch 22.
More people who can't pay their mortgages, that is just what we need in Miami.
Migoya and company are there to drain Jackson's resources and then sell it to the highest bidder. Remember that the idea of selling Jackson was floated some time in the not too distant past.
Jackson needs a CEO with hospital and health care experience not a banker.
I wish everyone being fired would write their story so we have a face behind all these firings.
The state of Florida is being stripped and sold for scrap.
I am unemployed myself and I am struggling to pay my bills including my property taxes. I could give a damn about lazy overpaid government employees. They had a nice ride while it lasted.
No wonder you are unemployed...you are bitter and self-serving.
Migoya plans to create a bunch of part time positions to replace the full time ones being laid off.
The trauma expansion is a reaction to Scott and company allowing other hospitals to compete for Jackson's business. Kendall got the OK to create a level 2 trauma center. Either they compete by offering level 2 at their other two hospitals - thereby keeping the business in their system, or they let all the others drain revenue and leave just the indigent at Jackson.
The trauma application will take time, but hopefully it will mean that if they're successfull, they will be able to hire again.
Jackson's governing system in the past wasn't exactly a beacon of efficiency...
I don't see a problem in making drastic changes in order to make itself a more cash-efficient entity. Yes, it sucks to lose the jobs, but that doesn't mean that Jackson should be beholden to a proven inefficient governance...unless you think it's a good idea for it to constantly be in the red by millions of dollars every month??
I know I don't.
There is no reason for Jackson to open up two more trauma centers. Just like there is no reason for Kendall to have a trauma facility or anybody else that is slated to get one. JMH and Miami Childrens do just fine providing trauma care in Miami Dade County. It's not about care, but cash.
The salaries for JMH are public info. I would love to how much these crybaby employees are actually making.
If only the $500,000 a year a-holes running the place into the ground would be laid off. Migoya has former staff of George Burgess (his secretary and communications tool) making over $100,000 each in his office. Recently, Migoya hired a retired politico at $6,000 a month to take him to Spanish language radio stations. This fish is rotting from the head.
