Massive understaffing by hedgefund managed hospital chains.

The fines will be a slap on the wrist, they (the hospitals) won't change their staffing
because they don't actually want to improve patient care, just make money.
A feature of our for-profit healthcare system.

The wrong people are in charge of our hospitals and nursing homes.
