Not knowing much about it it seems to me the hospitals may be doing the best they can under the circumstance. I hope there is unemployment insurance for laid off or furloughed workers.
PA provides for unemployment for laid off and furloughed workers. Federal Cares act adds $600/wk extra; PA extended benefits for 39 weeks.
