Saw this letter in the @irontontribune. Could not agree more! Medicare for all and the public option are a bad idea. RT @bgue: Letter to the editor: Reforms should build on current health system - The Tribune | The Tribune irontontribune.com/2020/09/1… m.irontontribune.com/2020/09…

As Congress negotiates the phase four #COVID19 relief bill, hospitals continue to face huge financial losses. Text HELPHOSPITALS to 52886 to tell Congress to include our key hospital priorities in the next COVID-19 relief bill: p2a.co/MYtoe3e

The recoupment period for the high-interest, short-term #Medicare loans that provided essential funding for hospitals during the #COVID19 crisis is fast approaching. Tell the Federal government: hospitals need support, not financial burdens.

Loretto Hospital serves vulnerable communities in Chicago. The hospital is a ***critical*** resource in Chicago's response to #COVID19. Loretto can use $4 million in #forgivenessforthefrontlines. @DefendHospitals

This is why the topic of #forgivenessforthefrontlines is coming up now. It would be surprising if @senschumer @sengillibrand @repjeffries @aoc and other NY lawmakers don’t act on this and promptly. But we’ll see what happens. Not just an issue in NY, also, FWIW.

This means one of two things: 1) either the loans get forgiven or 2) hospitals start making cuts that would be bad if a second round of COVID-19 comes (and possibly just bad anyway). @senschumer @sengillibrand @repjeffries @aoc @defendhospitals #forgivenessforthefrontlines

Yes, they were given loans. But revenue from, eg, canceled elective surgeries or doctor’s visits for, eg, a case of the flu that has now long since passed is NOT coming back. @senschumer @sengillibrand @repjeffries @aoc @defendhospitals #forgivenessforthefrontlines

This is in part bc people without COVID-19 have avoided hospitals and doctors/clinics associated with them like, well, the plague, because they didn’t want to risk inadvertent infection. @senschumer @sengillibrand @repjeffries @aoc @defendhospitals #forgivenessforthefrontlines

Thread: A big issue facing NY hospitals hit HARD by the COVID-19 crisis is that while treating COVID-19 patients they haven’t been able to take in as many patients for “normal” procedures. @senschumer @sengillibrand @repjeffries @aoc @defendhospitals #forgivenessforthefrontlines

Hospitals battling #COVID19 need support, not high-interest loans. 24 Representatives from New York are urging Congress to address this issue. GNYHA thanks @RepEliotEngel and @RepStefanik for their strong leadership in circulating this vital letter.

A hospital system furloughing 4,000 during a public health crisis makes it clear that the devastation of this pandemic will spare no business. We can cover workers' paychecks & help all businesses weather this crisis by passing the Paycheck Recovery Act. seattletimes.com/seattle-new…
UW Medicine furloughs 4,000 more workers, citing coronavirus budget hit

UW Medicine furloughs 4,000 more workers, citing coronavirus budget hit

These reductions, along with furloughs announced for 1,500 nonunion staffers last week, mean that more than 15% of UW Medicine's workforce will go without pay for one to eight weeks.
