Public Citizen President Robert Weissman and Deputy Director of Health Research Group Michael Carome praise the DC City Council for introducing the Patient Protection Act. They urge the Council to pass the legislation, which would combat the ill effects of hospital understaffing on patient health and help avoid preventable hospital readmissions.https://www.citizen.org/wp-content/uploads/public_citizen_shared_link.jpg1200628
