3. Article: Nursing shortage critical part of rising health costs
There are several reasons for the continually escalating health care costs, this article states that the nursing shortage is the most critical part. The nursing shortage is the most critical problem on this list, as it increases the cost and may compromise quality of care and availability of care. Providers, faced with a growing shortage of nurses and the possibility of closing beds and cutting services, increase salaries and turn to nursing agencies that charge two to three times the going nursing rate.
