Transcript

Hi. I'm Marty Wiley, and I'm an RN. And I'm here with my son No Wiley, who is not a no a health care professional, but occasionally plays one on television. And we are here for the second year in a row to try and push for legislation that will help health care worse, specifically Specifically for a tax credit, a $6,000 tax credit for health care workers mainly in undersaved areas and also for the Lorna Breen Act, which is Passed last year, but is yet to be funded. We're hoping tier get it funded to the tune of $45,000,000, and we're also initiating something called the State free act. Which allows health care workers when they see something that's not right with patient care to be able to speak up about it without fear of reprisals or a black rank on their record. Wish us luck. Awesome. Hug your mom. Hug my mom? Hug my mom.
