A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry

Is anyone interested in a little direct political action


Posted: Jul 28, 2016

I am trying to think of a way that we can bring the situation in our own industry to the attention of the Presidential candidates, specifically:

1.  The danger that exists in permitting the medical records of Americans to be processed offshore.

2.  The adverse impact on both job security and compensation that offshoring has had on our labor force.

3.  The increased likelihood of errors being introduced into the medical records of American citizens when transcription is done by ESL transcriptionists, especially when dictated by ESL dictators.

4.  The improper use of IC status by medical transcription companies in order to shift costs that properly belong to them and to avoid a variety of labor laws, evade paying for benefits, etc.

WE NEED A WAY TO COMMUNICATE THESE THINGS TO THE CANDIDATES, AND TO DEMAND TO KNOW WHAT THEIR POSITIONS WOULD BE WITH REGARD TO THEM.

Ideas, suggestions, etc. gratefully received.  I think there's a way we could put up a survey or something of that nature that everyone could respond to and perhaps we could send that to the candidates.  Or there might be a better idea out there.

SPEAK UP!  It's time to get a grip on this situation...and long past time.  It's obvious that we will never initiate a job action or anything like that to bring pressure to bear on the reprehensible practices of the MTSOs who lie in bed with the healthcare providers.

MTSO to HC: Hey sweetie-baby. Gimme dat thing - I need it soooooooooh!

MTSOs are panderers, it's as simple as that.

I don't know Hillary's contact info, but I doubt she would do anything about it since she is a fan of outsourcing.

Trump team actually contacted me! - I am getting update e-mails from them and I respon

The Trump team has been updating me as to where Mr. Pence and Mr. Trump will be appearing. In response to latest update regarding Mr. Pence in Lima, Ohio I responded to the e-mail.

I thanked Mr. Trump and team for running the Hillary/India outsourcing ad and how much outsourcing to India has hurt me, my way of life, and how I lost my home competing with India wages in order to maintain my job, now making a little over minimum wage. I figure if enough people make Mr. Trump aware on a personal level he will do what he can ESPECIALLY after I had seen the Trump ad regarding Hillary taking money from India several times now.

Here is the Trump team answer.

Dear _____

"What has happened to you and millions of other Americans is a travesty. We will fight for American security and prosperity!"


Sincerely,


Team Trump

I know you can contact your senator and they have a caseworker who will schedule an interview with you and you can voice your issues. I don't know if that would help or get the issue to the POTUS, but worth a shot, especially if enough of us did it. It might help to take a petition with many signatures, but again, don't know if it would help.

I also contacted DJT and got an email back also, but it did not say that exactly, but similar. and I too receive updates from them every day to let me know what is going on with them and where they will be. So someone is reading these emails. Even if you don't support DJT, write an email about our situation and if he does become POTUS maybe he will make a difference. Who knows. My dear mom used to tell me if you don't ask the question, the answer will always be no. So ask, write him.

Five dislikes from MTs whose jobs are - being outsourced to India?

[ In Reply To ..]
You don't want someone to do something about it? You want to dislike a post from someone who did do something about it?

What is wrong with this world and in particular people who let politics get in the way of their own financial well-being?

Are the dislikes coming from India MTs? Do they post on MTStars?
IMO, not a reflection on her efforts, rather because..sm - VTMT

Trump is the outsourcer in chief. Most Trump-branded neckties, shirts and suits are made in China, Bangladesh, or are branded “imported.”

However, his "Make America Great Again" hats are made in the USA, according to the campaign's online store.

Virtually all of his daughter Ivanka Trump’s extensive clothing and accessory line for women is made outside the U.S., with many items manufactured in China.
What has that got to do with disliking a poster - who notified Trump of India outsourcing
[ In Reply To ..]
Are MTs that obtuse they cannot at least see someone is asking for help from anyone regarding outsourcing but rather dislike the concept?
Trump outsources his own brand to other - countries, so...

Do you really think he is going to try to bring jobs back here? As Hillary said last night:

"He also talks a big game about putting America First. Please explain to me what part of America First leads him to make Trump ties in China, not Colorado. Trump suits in Mexico, not Michigan. Trump furniture in Turkey, not Ohio. Trump picture frames in India, not Wisconsin.

Donald Trump says he wants to make America great again – well, he could start by actually making things in America again."

Do you really think he is going to cut his bottom line - because that is what drives companies overseas playing slave wages, we know that. I just don't see it.
