I am your constituent and I want you to know that safe nursing staffing levels play an important part in keeping people alive. I just read about a young woman who was left to languish for over 4 hours in a Washington Emergency Department lobby instead of receiving the care she needed. She was in an acknowledged critical state and they let her die. Here is a link so you can read it yourself, https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/exclusives/106807.
You can help fix this by passing pass The Nurse Staffing Standards for Hospital Patient Safety and Quality Care Act (H.R.2530 and S.1113). Worth noting that safe nursing standards are also called out in HR 3421 the improved Medicare for All Act. Thank you.
