Private hospitals like Providence will never “do the right thing” on their own. They need to be regulated far more aggressively.

Regulated by who tho? The state run hospitals are just as awful

Federal mandate for a 1-to-4 nurse-to-patient ratio. https://www.trustednursestaffing.com/nurse-patient-ratios-by-state/#nurse-patient-ratios-by-state-1

Mandate ratios. The state doesn’t run the hospital. They pass a regulation that says nurses can’t have more than x patients, now go figure out how to do that.

There is a huge difference between regulation and state-operation.

But city council will never have authority to do anything. They shouldn't have even sent the "disappointment" letter at all. Has nothing to do with them. Heartbreaking to have happened but headline is stupid.

True, but what they can do is bring media attention to the issue. Next step is to direct that media attention towards a useful solution (like a federal mandate for 1:4 nurse:patient ratios).
