Yesterday's heroes ... As Hospitals Lose Revenue, More Than A Million Health Care Workers Lose Jobs

[Denizen]

This will be a damning consequence of Donald Trump's incompetence as the very people that saved lives during the crisis are the next victims.

Health care workers are becoming unemployed in unusually large numbers as hospitals suffer declining revenues from disruption of normal healthcare business as Covid19 response absorbs all their resources.

Could there be bankruptcies of hospitals?

Healthcare workers have become yesterday's heroes. It is credible that other first responders will also suffer as state governments have huge budget deficits.

Donald Trump and the GOP are resisting aid to state governments and are not even considering helping hospitals and healthcare workers.

As part of a demonstration across from the White House on May 7, National Nurses United set out empty shoes for nurses who have died from COVID-19. The union is asking employers and the government to provide safe workplaces, including adequate staffing. Hospitals have been laying off and furloughing nurses due to lost revenue.

Michelle Sweeney could barely sleep. The nurse in Plymouth, Mass., had just learned she would be furloughed. She only had four hours the next day to call all of her patients.

"I was in a panic state. I was sick over it," Sweeney said. "Our patients are the frailest, sickest group."

Sweeney works for Atrius Health as a case manager for patients with chronic health conditions and those who have been discharged from the hospital or emergency room.

"It's very devaluing, like a slap in the face," Sweeney said. "Nursing is who you are ... I've never been unemployed my entire life."

It's an ironic twist as the coronavirus pandemic sweeps the nation: The very workers tasked with treating those afflicted with the virus are losing work in droves. Emergency room visits are down. Non-urgent surgical procedures have largely been put on hold. Health care spending fell 18% in the first three months of the year. And 1.4 million health care workers lost their jobs in April, a sharp increase from the 42,000 reported in March, according to the Labor Department. Nearly 135,000 of the April losses were in hospitals. ...

The very last line in the movie "Patton"...

It is credible that other first responders will also suffer as state governments have huge budget deficits.

Yes. Police, fire, teachers, social workers, public health nurses, town office workers, even the guys who plow our roads and mow the ditches, all will be in jeopardy. This is not going to be good. I don't know how anyone can think this is what ANY governor is trying to achieve. Even our state which has taken a minimal hit is in trouble financially.

Well the conservatives who want smaller government may just get it.

 

[whitehall]

Blame the President? Surely you jest.

Donald Trump and the GOP are resisting aid to state governments and are not even considering helping hospitals and healthcare workers.

What were all those trillions for? Wasn't a lot of that aid to the states in that it provided tests, PPE, personnel in some instances, and also keeping people of their states employed--or getting unemployment so they wouldn't starve?

 

[Denizen]

Blame the President? Surely you jest.

No!

Dopey Donald Trump jests. His administration is a joke and a fraud.

Since his inauguration, Dopey Donald Trump has been incurring Federal debt at 2 x GDP growth.

They can be assigned to cure the mental disease of MAGAnuts that will become suicidal after Donald Trump is expunged.

As the lunatics rail, STAY HOME, we'll make the nanny state send you booze, dope, and a check each month.

Can't have it both ways. If you want to push this economic destruction on us you can have your partners in crime China pay for it.

I hear Hunter Bidum has a billion bucks of China's money. He can cough that up to start.

So more people should die of the Covid virus to keep hospital workers busy?
Cool! But then you would accuse Trump of letting people die.
Great! But then you would have to hate Trump and save people from Covid death.
Okay, but then you would hate Trump for laying off hospital workers.
But...but....but...but....but....you live in a circle of insane hate for Trump.

You're a fascinating insane jackass.

So the President really isn't to blame but the allegation is that his administration is a joke a and a fraud? How does that work?
