Health care workers say larger and richer hospitals and practices outbid their smaller peers, sometimes for protective gear, sometimes to fill in staffing gaps
Congressional Democrats have repeatedly petitioned the administration for more comprehensive information about lingering shortages and have been frustrated by the lack of up-to-date projections. Just this week, House Ways and Means Chair Richard Neal complained that it has taken him months to get information on PPE from the administration — and then it's out of date.
That’s not to say PPE shortages are completely resolved in hospitals. Some front-line workers, even at well-resourced hospitals, say ongoing shortages have forced them to clean and reuse masks and gowns that were intended for single use. “Given the cost of hero pay, and bonus payments and recruiting bonuses, they can’t compete in the market," Warren said. "They can’t recruit someone away to work for them because they can’t compete in the labor market.”
"President Trump has led the greatest mobilization of the private sector since World War II to deliver critical supplies, including face masks, PPE, and ventilators, to the areas that need it most and saving countless lives," White House deputy press secretary Judd Deere said.
