Nurses ring doorbells for health care reform
Sunday, October 18, 2009
NEW BRITAIN — Mila Chia, a registered nurse from New Jersey, said last week while she was working her hospital went to Code Purple.
“Code Purple means the emergency room is filled,” she said. “It happens when a lot of people with no insurance come in. Hospitals are closing because they can’t recover their cost on these patients.”
Chia and 30 or more nurses and patients, all union members, gathered Saturday at Council 4, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees headquarters in New Britain. The nurses, some from other states, were joined by local community members as they hit the streets, going from door-to-door, talking to city residents about health care reform.
