Description

Health care workforce shortages inhibit community ability to recruit and keep workers and raise concerns about caring for those who need help now Health care providers, those who teach and train them, and the policymakers who craft the budgets that affect health care in Wisconsin know that pandemic pressures and staffing shortages are posing a very real threat to public access to health care. They also know that inflation, rising drug prices and expensive new technologies have made access to affordable health care a challenge for families, employers and taxpayers. They have studied and are hard at work on these challenges. Their efforts are essential, and given the necessary resources now, will be successful overtime. That’s obviously good news, but it is not sufficient to help those who need help now, such as the elderly whose chronic illnesses and acute needs may not have been adequately addressed during the pandemic; rural populations whose access to care became even more precarious over the past two and a half years; and children.
