Last year 85% of American nurses plan to quit their current hospital job within the next 12 months.
Florida had 213 hospitals, with 100 operating as for-profit institutions. So it's all about getting the most work for the least money.
There are several hospitals in Orlando. This one hospital made 4 billion (that "B" for billion) last year. In this hospital a patient who spent 2 weeks, had a total bill exceeding USD $327,000 / NZD $570,000.
A typical bill in Florida for non-emergency care is about USD $2,800 per day / NZD $4,800 per day. For emergencies care, it's about $8,158 per day, NZ $14,200 per day.
12% of people in Florida have no insurance; they must pay the bill themselves. Even insured Americans commonly pay the first $500, first USD $125 for ambulance.
Florida laws are very anti-union, and also it is illegal to strike. Also giving paid vacation or sick time for any business in Florida is optional. See misleading law name Right to work
