>In an op-ed published Tuesday by USA Today, the actor, who has become deeply familiar with the health care industry through his roles on “ER” and “The Pitt,” revealed that he plans to travel to Capitol Hill this week with ambassadors of FIGS, an apparel company dedicated to supporting and standing up for health care workers. He will join 18 health care professionals and his mother, a retired nurse, on the trip to Washington.
>“Since [‘The Pitt’] premiered, I’ve heard from countless health care workers who’ve told me they finally feel seen,” Wyle wrote. “Their stories echo the same themes: exhaustion, compassion and a system that threatens to make their life’s work unsustainable.”
>In Washington, Wyle and his fellow advocates will ask Congress to act on the lack of mental health support, as well as the administrative burden and financial strain, that health care workers are struggling with right now. Wyle and co. are specifically seeking the reauthorization and renewed funding of the Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act, which was enacted with bipartisan support in 2022 but expired in 2024.
>“Our message is simple: Without a supported, protected and fairly treated workforce, there is no patient care,” Wyle argued. “These aren’t partisan issues. They’re practical ones. And they’re urgent. Because when our health care professionals are burned out, buried in paperwork or forced to leave the field altogether, we all pay the price.”
>“I’m not a policymaker. I’m not a clinician. But I’ve spent my career listening to those who are, and I’ve seen the difference they make when it matters most,” the “Pitt” star concluded. “To anyone who’s ever benefited from the knowledge, care and courage of a health care professional, now’s the time to show up for them and take action. They’ve had our backs. It’s time we have theirs.”
Congress: “Wanna bet?”
Yes! Please help us!
There is no such thing as a non-partisan issue in current times.
Those doctors and nurses helped someone who was about to die before my stuffy nose. That’s DEI!
Congress: best we can do is make bootstraps tax free for healthcare workers
Sadly empathy and recognizing healthcare has been partisan
Congress: let’s see what our donors have to say about that.
Everything is a partisan issue to a conservative. If any action they take helps someone who isn’t a conservative then they just won’t take that action.
I work as a CNA or nursing care tech in a hospital. Nurses and aides are trying their hardest to keep our patients safe. But our ability to provide quality care is crumbling year after year. Many of us are struggling to get by. I don’t know how much longer this can continue. It is exceptionally bad in rural areas. A lot of people are going to be very be surprised when they inevitably need care. On top of this patients are absolutely crushed by medial debt. But the CEO gets healthy raises every year.
Resident docs losing access to student loan repayment programs bc of conservative federal suits needs urgent attention. You cannot expect people to pay 2-400k back at a full rate with salaries bottoming in the high 40s and median close to 70k. All income will be spent on rent and loans, nothing left.
fix it or face an impending strike
We’re all out here asking congress to do something, anything to stop the destruction of our nation. They are nowhere to be found unless it’s performative.
Yes, they are. Any issue that involves just trying to bring more humanity to the day-to-day lives of Americans is absolutely a partisan issue.
The Republicans have made it clear that they are going to vote against literally any measure that could do anything to help any Americans that aren’t already wealthy.
