3/ "Premium prices" to the point that traveling nurses are paid several times as much per hour as doctors.
I'm not saying that in a hierarchical, elitist way.

4/ Full-time staff – nurses & doctors – are realizing that they can make more $ working fewer hours as traveling workers.
We're looking at a SERIOUS loss in capacity if people realize they can work a fraction as much, make $ & have more time off.

6/ In Kansas, Colorado, & states in the middle of the country,
hospitals are implementing crisis standards of care.
People are DYING because normal standards of healthcare aren't available.

7/ Doctors & nurses have to let some people die so that others might live.
Imagine YOU having to make that decision.
How well would you sleep at night? and the night(s) after that?
And work the next day(s)? month(s)? year(s)?
Because that's where we're at.
