EP3: Part Two: The Great Debate: Regulation Vs. Reality, Beyond the Newsday Headlines

Headline: THE MATH DOESN'T ADD UP. 🧮❌Newsday just put our industry on blast for $511k in fines. They’re calling it "neglect." But let’s look at the other side of the screen.🚨 FACT: New York State just declared a Disaster Emergency in Nassau and Suffolk because there literally aren't enough nurses to go around. 🚨 FACT: The State is fining facilities $2,000 A DAY for not hitting staffing numbers that are physically impossible to meet in this labor market. 🚨 FACT: Taking $500k out of facility budgets doesn't hire more nurses—it makes the shortage WORSE.How can you fine us for a shortage the Governor admitted is a "State Disaster"?We aren't defending bad care. We are defending the people being set up to fail by a broken system.
