Just a grammar Nazi note.

But an important issue regarding the destruction of health care by the Drumpf administration. Thanks for posting, Cattledog.

people can exercise their 'freedom' and drop their insurance. This will make thousands ineligible in Ohio and you won't need so many doctors and nurses...we also have Cleveland Clinic which may or may not survive.

I'm really wondering how they came up with 81,000. That's just under half of all nurses in the state.

Wasn't there a severe nursing shortage prior to the ACA?

People are not stupid. If you throw exaggerated claims out like that it just kills your credibility.

Nurses, in general, are trained to be critical thinkers, open-minded, and non-judgmental. I bet more vote democratic than the state average.

will have unexpectedly high closure rates.

Doctors offices will see incomes cut, meaning they'll hire "health aides" that have bare minimum training. Hospitals will put more trained aides, vocational nurses, etc under the supervision of fewer RNs.

I can see where more than 25% would have to move or retrain to find work.
