Nurses groups split over mandate

By Emma Dumain



Two major nurses advocacy groups have split over whether, and how, Congress should mandate how many nurses work at each hospital.
National Nurses United, the largest registered nurses' union in the country, is pushing for legislation that would mandate the same nurse-to-patient ratio in every hospital around the country.
The American Nurses Association, a professional organization that represents registered nurses, opposes a set ratio and prefers a move to require hospitals seek input from nurses about staffing ratios in various units.
Thousands of registered nurses with National Nurses United came to Washington last week to lobby for the National Nursing Shortage and Patient Advocacy Act, which is modeled on a California law the nurses union helped pass in 1999.
"This is the most comprehensive bill to address nursing shortage and the quality of care, one that has been actually proven to have a huge impact on patient safety and keep the right number of nurses at the bedside," said Chuck Idelson, National Nurses United's communications director. "Nurses can have more time to help patients, and the ratios will also decrease burnout, a huge cause of nursing shortage."
Advocates were emboldened by a recent study out of the University of Pennsylvania showing that the ratios proposed by this bill would have accounted for 14 percent fewer surgical deaths in New Jersey and more than 10 percent fewer in Pennsylvania.
They can also boast that their bill already has powerful champions in the House and Senate.
But the American Nurses Association is skeptical that mandating the same ratios at every hospital will necessarily help.
"A 'one size fits all' will not get to the heart of the problem," said Michelle Artz, the association's chief associate director of government affairs. "We worry about a lack of flexibility."
Instead, the Nurses Association backs the Registered Nurse Safe Staffing Act. Rather than set across-the-board ratio requirements, that bill would require each hospital to work with registered nurses to determine how many are needed on each shift and in each medical unit.
Though the Nurses Association's bill has been introduced in a number of Congresses over the past several years, it has never gained much momentum. While the organization tweaks the current language for reintroduction next year, National Nurses United moved ahead on a push for its own legislation.
The union is gearing up for a fight.
"The American Nurses Association is working with the hospital industry on an issue that will not solve the problem," said National Nurses United policy director Michael Lighty. "They believe that hospitals, on their own, will implement safer staffing. That's not a formula or a solution to staffing that will be nurse driven."
The American Nurses Association objected to those remarks.
"We are certainly not in any hospital association's pocket," Artz said in response. "And most hospitals would tell you that they would not want to be told how to staff, period."

After a bitter yearlong struggle to pass health care reform, it seems unlikely that Congress will have the appetite to take up another piece of legislation from either group that would dramatically change the way hospitals are staffed and run.

It's also unclear which bill would have more success on the House or Senate floor and which would have more support not just from Members of Congress, but from related industry groups as well.

The influential American Hospital Association, which represents hospitals and patients, is not standing behind either bill, which could further complicate either's chances for passage.
"We do not believe that these decisions are needed at the federal level," said Carla Luggiero, the senior associate director for federal relations for the hospital association. She argued that the legislation does not account for the real problem at hand, which is the national shortage of registered nurses.

"All staffing decisions have to be made in individual hospitals, at the unit level," Luggiero said. "All health care is local."

Democrats Reject GOP Counter-Offer On BP Liability

Off Shore Drilling
Senate Democrats on Monday rejected a Republican legislative counter-offer to the BP crisis that would raise an oil company's liability for economic damages in the wake of a spill to the equivalent of one-year worth of profits.
Late last week, Democratic leadership tried to push forward a vote on a piece of legislation that would have raised the cap on oil company liabilities from $75 million to $10 billion. But the party was blocked by Sen. Lisa Murkowksi (R-AK), who argued that by raising the level of liability that high, the government would make it prohibitive for small companies to drill offshore.
On Monday, the Republican Party, led by Sens. David Vitter, R-La., Jeff Sessions, R-Ala. and Roger Wicker, R-Miss put out the first GOP counter-proposal. Under its design, a company responsible for a spill would have to pay either the last four quarters of its profits or double the current cap ($150 million) -- whichever one is greater -- to help with economic damages caused by the spill.
Republicans pushing the proposal said it would "dramatically increase" the industry's liability. And, indeed, in the case of BP and the current spill in the Gulf, it would.
But Democratic negotiators say the GOP proposal is arbitrary and limited. What if, for example, an oil company that has made little or no profits during the course of the year is responsible for a damaging spill and that spill ends up causing more than $150 million in damages?
"Oil damages fisheries and coastal communities without regard to a polluter's profits," Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) said in a statement to the Huffington Post. "Coastal residents and businesses should be fully compensated for economic damages from a spill, even if the company that owned the oil well is having a bad year. One of the companies that leased the well currently spilling in the Gulf is valued at $40 billion but made no profits last year -- should a company like that not be liable for damage it may cause? "
Menendez is the point person for the Democratic Party on legislation responding to the BP spill. And a leadership aide confirmed that his position on the Republican counter-offer is shared by the party's top brass.

"The overall effect would be to not guarantee that affected small business and fisheries get their due," said one high-ranking Senate aide. "In this case, the oil rig was owned by a company that happened to make a big profit last year [BP]. But there are plenty of rigs owned by oil wells that are less profitability, but they all have the potential to spill as much oil as the other and cause as much economic damage... It is basically a crap-shoot based on who is the responsible party."
As it stands now, Democratic leadership is planning to forge ahead with the Menendez bill even at the risk that it could be stopped again in the Senate. A unanimous consent vote is scheduled for Tuesday, a leadership aide said. "And we will ask several times this week if we don't get consent," the aide added.
The White House, too, appears to be on board Menendez's bill, though it has declined to endorse a specific cap for economic-damage liability. Asked about Murkowski's logic that a $10 billion figure would dissuade small oil companies from drilling in the Gulf, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said the following:
I think somebody has to understand that if the project that you're undertaking has the potential to cause the type of damage that exceeds what is -- what could or may happen, that the law take that into account regardless of the size of your firm. I think if -- I think that's, quite frankly, a series of steps based on common sense to ensure that the protections are there for people in the event that something catastrophic does happen.

Nelson undecided on cloture vote for Wall Street reform bill

By Jordan Fabian - 05/18/10 03:59 PM ET
The only Democratic senator to vote against the financial regulatory reform bill said Tuesday that he has not yet decided if he will support a key test vote on the measure.
Centrist Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) was asked if he has decided whether he will vote for cloture on the bill Wednesday. "No, I haven't," he replied.
Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) expressed confidence earlier on Tuesday that he has the 60 votes necessary to invoke cloture, which would send the financial bill toward a final vote. He made his comments after a full caucus meeting with Democratic senators Tuesday afternoon.
Democrats have 59 members in their caucus, meaning they need at least one Republican to cross the aisle in order to move forward on the bill. If Nelson opposes cloture as he did when senators voted to open debate on the bill several weeks ago, that would mean Reid would need to poach another Republican to win the vote.
Nelson said that he needs to see the list of amendments still under consideration before he makes his decision.
Democrats may not need Nelson's support to move forward. Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) predicted Tuesday that four or five Republicans would vote for cloture.
