Bill to set minimum hospital staffing dies in state Senate

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

OLYMPIA — A fierce legislative fight over staffing levels and worker protections in hospitals is over.

For now.

A bill that would have limited the number of patients assigned to a nurse and imposed hefty fines on hospitals that failed to comply with staffing plans died in a Senate committee earlier this week.

Nurses and health care workers, many physically and emotionally wiped out by the coronavirus pandemic, pushed hard for House Bill 1868. They viewed it as crucial to improve job safety by addressing staffing shortages they say create dangerous conditions for themselves and patients.

1. They who didnt vote for this

Want people to die and die quickly. How dare the nurses be supported,how dare we want to be safe in the hospital.

Wtf were those people thinking.

Oh thats right senators and rich people get top of the line insurance for life,they'll never be subjected to the understaffing. Left 0sick in a hallway or denied a bed because of unvaxxed idiots while having a heart attack.

Rich and privileged people suck.
