Washington State is already predicted to have a nursing shortage.  Baby boomers need increasing health care (more nursing care) and baby boomer nurses are retiring in droves. 
 Undercutting the health system's financial structure will increase the shortage as health systems struggle to identify fair compensation for staff and, seeing the financial picture, fewer nurses enter the pool.  
Health care is not like making widgets. Unless a sound financial structure is identified, we will all experience problems in accessing health care when we need it.  
Obama care is flawed for sure, but it was the closest we had gotten to creating financial sustainability for our healthcare.  Undercutting the compromises that created it won't solve the underlying issues.
