"...when the pandemic hit, the staffing levels went from a strain to a crisis unto itself for many nursing homes." #ProtectAllWorkers #ProtectAllResidents #SafeStaffing #Union skillednursingnews.com/2021/03/staffi…
"Over and over again, the witnesses testifying in the hearing emphasized that the issue of low staffing in nursing homes predated the pandemic — a point that was also made in one of the first hearings on the impact of COVID-19 in nursing homes in 2020."

"Some Cabell Huntington Hospital retirees and their families are speaking out after receiving a letter stating their supplemental Medicare insurance benefit will be terminated at the end of March." herald-dispatch.com/news/cabell-hu…
“I may not have retired early if I knew there was a chance I would have to start paying for bridge coverage and then lose my supplemental benefits after that,” Doss said."
“I was a dedicated employee for over 30 years and based my retirement budget on this benefit. Now that I am older, sicker and on fixed income, this benefit is suddenly gone. I have gone from paying nothing to paying $7,500 for insurance.”
