The Good, the Bad, and First Student

First Student, Inc, announced the unilateral change that effective September 30, 2011, it was cancelling the current health plan, Health Net of Oregon and replacing it with coverage provided by Kaiser Permanente in Salem, Oregon effective October 1, 2011. The impact of this unlawful change is devastating to city transit workers. These workers, who are currently receiving services from Corvallis area physicians participating in the Health Net of Oregon plan, will lose their physicians and be forced to travel an hour one-way to Salem, Oregon to receive all services provided by Kaiser Permanente. Some of these workers and family members are currently receiving medical care for and are recovering from various forms of cancer and other major medical conditions.
