Besides any language problem you would likely have cultural problems which could very easily reduce the quality of care if you bring in a large number of foreign workers...

...all these guard members are already working in the health care industry in their civilian jobs.

Yeah, I'm guessing somebody doesn't understand where the National Guard comes from.

Hochul is the reason there is a shortage.

You can check out the British YouTuber ‘history debunked’ about the situation with the NHS and problems caused by foreign-born medical workers—especially ‘cultural’ issues.

I thought the National Guard consisted of civilians who hold regular jobs when they aren’t in training or deployed on a mission. Are they actually full-time members of the Guard?

"But wouldn’t a good chunk of these National Guard already be in the civilian medical field?"

Beat me to it. Wouldn't medically-trained members of the guard already be working in that field as civilians?

The other issue I would worry about is this, let’s say tomorrow a number of NY State Hospitals fire 20% of their Doctors, Nurses, etc....

It’s not like everything gets put on hold until you fill those positions, people are already being treats and new ones come in every day, some in serious condition....

I would say the chances of you getting a foreign worker who is qualified to come in and fill the position in a matter of hours is quite slim....in the meantime patients will suffer as an already overworked staff is stretched even further...

I would never recommend someone fake a work injury (or intentionally get a real injury) to collect workmen’s comp just before the vaxx deadline, but I am sure the thought will have occurred to many health care workers...

“in the meantime patients will suffer as an already overworked staff is stretched even further...”


I have to go to a hospital every weekday for a treatment of a chronic problem. I’ve started talking to the local staff and they are already stretched very thin. I am not in a big city and while there is the Chinese virus here, I don’t think that is what is overwhelming the workers.

There are not enough medical workers as it is, the local hospital is aggressively advertising for nurses. the Chinese virus doesn’t help; the idea that firing workers who don’t get the shot seems to be absurd. The fired qualified staff will start collecting unemployment, and will be replaced by marginally-trained foreign staff could be seen to have a ready excuse for more deaths.

“But wouldn’t a good chunk of these National Guard already be in the civilian medical field?”

Yes, almost all are also medical practitioners on the outside. They wouldn’t be able to perform as medical field doctors and nurses unless licensed. The medics are good, but are not trained for this type of work. And the outsiders can make a whole lot more money for the service out there if they provide it.

The first problem is not the people, but the vaccines. The vaccines are not designed to stop the illness. They are there to prepare your body to be infected by it and make it a little easier to be sick. So no matter who goes into the line, they are subject to infection.

The real problem is that the vaccine mandates, in their hard handed efforts, are failing and they need to cover their a$$e$ to the voters when the medical field called their bluff. And who would know more about the vaccines and their problems than the medical field? A two sided sword the governments are swinging at themselves.

And another guess from me: what happens when the NG members start getting sick with the virus due to perpetual exposure they wouldn’t get on the outside and have to be pulled out of the line? It’s a little late to reevaluate a move with none of your chess pieces on the board except you. And forcing the last line of defense to work to replace your poor poker playing is not going to go well with any voters left when it fails. And it will. Officially kicked down the road.

Update...

Hours ahead of NY healthcare vax deadline, Hochul sets staff shortage plan; hospital staff who refuse shot to be fired Tuesday

Note to healthcare refuseniks: You're not the only ones being hung out to dry. Either we hang together or we will surely hang separately.

Note to the vaxxed: You, too.

The Guard is a distraction to draw attention away from the foreign workers.

Governor Hochul, like many of these other Democrat governors, have a directive to get state employees off the payroll due to the unfunded pension liabilities.

Hochul not only wants to cut government payroll in a bankrupt state, she wants to force individuals off the retirement plans. New York, like California, is a canary in the coal mine.

They stole an election in 2020 with the intent of having red states bail them out but the market says otherwise.

These blue states are too many decades into the financial hole. None of them wanted to grow up so here they are with criminal actions in an attempt to stave off the inevitable bankruptcy.
