Agree with Jedrnurse here. Sorry to say, but the American Nurses Association is in bed with corporate health care and as such, any position that they endorse is spurious to me and likely taken for political gain, not advocacy! A closer examination of the issue would show that while CA N/P mandates were somewhat responsible for hospitals' "cut funding for supplies, upgrades and education and holding patients longer in the ER", the CEOs and senior management continued to enjoy exorbitant salaries, company benefits, perks, and golden parachutes-odd, no cuts there. It is 'all about the money'.
