"COVID-19 hospitalizations have now reached over 100,000 since the start of December...during the summer peak, the highest hospitalizations were at 60,000. This spells serious concern for our nation’s overworked hospitals and healthcare workforce." #HWRA

I'm sorry for your uncertain future due to our discriminatory immigration laws. Thank you for your service to ill patients. We need change. Let's hope the fight for equality prevails soon. Pass #s386#hr1044
Enjoyed meeting with members from NE-02's Indian community to answer any questions and concerns they had regarding the challenges they are facing during #COVID. I also reiterated my support for H.R. 1044, the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2020.
There are urgent health care staff shortages across Texas. @JohnCornyn your support for #S3599 is critical, and health care systems in need of reinforcements are counting on Congress to address this shortfall at a critical moment. #COVID19
The time is now to pass #HWRA.
Staffing shortages are a growing concern in Maine, and Congress has one more shot to address it this month. @SenatorCollins and @SenAngusKing cosponsored #S3599 to address this problem, which will help fight workforce shortages at a critical moment. #HWRA

Rural America is struggling to slow the spread of COVID, and frontline workers are bracing for rising hospitalizations in the weeks and months ahead.
Passing #S3599 will protect health care workers who are essential to their communities!

Staffing shortages compound this problem which is expected to get worse before it gets better. Protecting frontline workers and enabling reinforcements is critical to ensuring access. Pass #S3599#HWRA@JohnBoozman@PatRoberts@SenatorWicker@SenatorEnzi

The latest surge of cases and hospitalizations is putting increasing pressure on the healthcare workforce. Passing #S3599 will provide for reinforcements to hospitals at this critical moment. #HWRA@SenToddYoung@RoyBlunt@SenatorCollins @senrobportman

As Congress negotiates a #COVID19 package, it must consider ways to strengthen the health care workforce. #S3599 will provide for an infusion of reinforcements to communities with record numbers of cases and hospitalizations.
@senatemajldr @sendavidperdue@SenToddYoung@RoyBlunt
Bipartisan legislation in Congress #S3599 would strengthen the health care workforce and facilitate reinforcements where needed. This solution is about combatting shortages now and ensuring access in months ahead. @SenatorDurbin@SenToddYoung@JohnCornyn

A brief window into an emergency room treating COVID-19 patients. We must do everything we can to strengthen the health care system and support health care workers.
#S3599 is one measure to ensure the workforce remains strong in the months ahead. Pass #HWRA@SenToddYoung
"Lofgren said that hospital staff are visibly exhausted and experiencing burnout from the sharp increase in hospitalizations while also dealing with staff shortages..."
Please support passage of #S3599#HWRA @senrobportman @sendavidperdue@McConnellPress

Thank you @SenatorDurbin for highlighting this important issue and fighting for a strong health care workforce during this unprecedented public health crisis. #COVID19
Time is now to pass #S3599#HWRA.
The Biden administration should also consider recapturing the 300k+ EB Green Cards that remain wasted as per Ombudsman Annual Report. Point to note that these Green Cards are not in INCREASE in quota, but GCs already APPROVED by Congress but never issued by USCIS.
