    I think superior nursing care is a #1 reason for these hospitals to have fewer complications and deaths.
    I do not think nurses are better in California, Arizona, Illinois, and Ohio.
    California has staffing by acuity with the ratio as the maximum that can be assigned to one nurse.
    Probably the best hospitals have better staffing than the worst.
