Oh I see, the human cost to health care workers doesn’t count. Got it.

Maybe your threshold for what counts as ‘getting health care’ is different from mine. For me it amounts to more up than just being physically in a hospital. If the people described below were your family, would you be satisfied with their health care?

"Some of them, bless their souls, can't do anything for themselves," she said. "How can I take care of 14 people when I have one tech and they have 30 patients. It's so bad here you guys."

You know you're being dishonest here and I'm not going to engage.

That’s a real shame. I just don’t understand at all where you’re coming from, or in what way I’m being dishonest.

To me is seems straightforward to say that a system that is no longer able to provide an acceptable standard of care to a majority, or large minority if it’s patients, has been pushed beyond its capacity.
