state hospital workers still have to prove they've been vaccinated and will lose their unemployment health insurance if they're fired for being unvaccinated.
Hochul addressed a potential shortage of hospital workers when the mandate goes into effect with a multi-pronged plan to backfill positions.
As part of the governor's plan, an executive order would be used to declare a state of emergency to increase workforce supply.
Qualified health care professionals who licensed in other states or countries, recent graduates, retired and formerly practicing health care professionals would be able to practice in New York State.
Other options include deployment of medically-trained National Guard members, Hochul said.

There's no way this will make the healthcare situation better. Just how bad of a hit it will take remains to be seen

Anyone whisper in her ear that the whole Cuomo the Democrat removed over sex problems (which never happens to Democrats) was to cover up for killing all the elderly in nursing homes so you all didn’t hang (for deliberately murdering elderly people with a biological weapon)?
I mean she better go out and rob a bank or something so everyone isn’t hung on shutting down healthcare facilities during a pandemic...for a moronic reason. Because if the vaccine works, the unvaxxed infected can’t hurt you. And if it doesn’t work, then why are you firing people for ignoring pointless mandates?

Capitalism, of course.
Yeah, but even the glorious people's revolution cannot create skilled healthcare workers from nowhere.
They need us more than we need them.

Your job, your ability to make money is your families life's blood. It seems that is what they want to attack, what if the next big thing is chips. If you do not get the chip you will be fired, no one can hire you, you lose all insurance, we freeze your accounts and credit....
Do you get the chip?

I think they'll have trouble.
There's a shortage of qualified health care workers all over thanks to mandates and other factors.
I'd also expect this to be challenged legally.
But, hey, you have to hand it to them. We've been wanting the size of government work forces to be chopped for years, and they may actually have found a way to do it.

I hear in places with socialized health care, they end up importing a lot of their doctors from overseas. In other words, the labor is imported. It'll be a whole new class of H1-BS and whole new category of jobs that Americans won't do.
originally posted by: zosimov the very existence of people who won't comply to their mandates is a threat, and isolating them from society isn't going far enough; not only should these pariahs be shunned, they should have nothing and be happy. l
